I, for one, cannot wait to see what she has to say in Hunger. From Roxane Gay, the New York Times bestselling author of Bad Feminist, a memoir in weight about eating healthier, finding a tolerable form of exercise, and exploring what it means to learn, in the middle of your life, how to take care of yourself and how to feed your hunger.

It’s about trying to change my relationship with food.”īad Feminist made a splash (OK, more like a tsunami) when it came out in 2014, and for good reason.

And now, I've staked out a permanent spot on the edge of my seat for her new book, Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body, coming out this June. If you loved Bad Feminist, or An Untamed State, or any of Gay's online endeavors, you, like me, hang on to her every word. ![]() There's no doubt about it, Roxane Gay is a powerhouse, a goddess, a bona fide badass. Roxane Gay has several personae, but she first garnered Internet fame as a diarist. ![]()
