New York Times bestselling author Roxane Gay has written with intimacy and sensitivity about food and bodies, using her own emotional and psychological struggles as a means of exploring our shared anxieties over pleasure, consumption, appearance, and health. As a woman who describes her own body as "wildly undisciplined," Roxane understands the tension between desire and denial, between self-comfort and self-care. In Hunger, she casts an insightful and critical eye on her childhood, teens, and twenties--including the devastating act of violence that acted as a turning point in her young life--and brings readers into the present and the realities, pains, and joys of her daily life.

With the bracing candor, vulnerability, and authority that have made her one of the most admired voices of her generation, Roxane explores what it means to be overweight in a time when the bigger you are, the less you are seen. Hunger is a deeply personal memoir from one of our finest writers, and tells a story that hasn't yet been told but needs to be.

LOVE the COLOR! durable and affordable - MUST BUY
Size: 34W x 32L, Color: Yellow
These TEGIAS slim-fit stretch plaid jeans were perfect for my Halloween costume! The color and pattern stood out great and matched exactly what I needed. Beyond the costume, the fit is surprisingly comfortable—soft, stretchy, and not restrictive at all. They have a nice slim look without feeling tight, and the quality feels solid for the price. I ended up wearing them longer than expected because they’re that comfortable. Definitely a great find if you need something stylish for an outfit or costume. I’d absolutely buy them again!
