DISCLAIMER: This book summary is meant as a summary and an analysis and not a replacement for the original work. By recounting her relationship with childhood sexual assault, body-shaming, and feminism, Gay uses her story to initiate a discourse on body neutrality and self-compassion. Hunger is Gay’s critique of the sexist stereotypes that are designed to keep women’s bodies in line and her pursuit of fatness as a protest against sexualization. Instead, Hunger (2017) is a book that breaks barriers by inviting you to embrace your body and your relationship with food. If you’re looking for a memoir that glorifies one woman’s personal weight loss journey, Roxane Gay wants you to know that this is not that memoir. A powerful memoir about food, fatness, and feminism. Notice: This is a Summary & Analysis of Hunger.
