Roxane Gay
À propos de cet audio
From the New York Times best-selling author of Bad Feminist, a searingly honest memoir of food, weight, self-image, and learning how to feed your hunger while taking care of yourself.
"I ate and ate and ate in the hopes that if I made myself big, my body would be safe. I buried the girl I was because she ran into all kinds of trouble. I tried to erase every memory of her, but she is still there, somewhere.... I was trapped in my body, one that I barely recognized or understood, but at least I was safe."
In her phenomenally popular essays and long-running Tumblr blog, Roxane Gay has written with intimacy and sensitivity about food and body, 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 explores her past - including the devastating act of violence that acted as a turning point in her young life - and brings listeners along on her journey to understand and ultimately save herself.
With the bracing candor, vulnerability, and power that have made her one of the most admired writers of her generation, Roxane explores what it means to learn to take care of yourself: how to feed your hungers for delicious and satisfying food, a smaller and safer body, and a body that can love and be loved - in a time when the bigger you are, the smaller your world becomes.

Patric Gagne realized she made others uncomfortable before she started kindergarten. Something about her caused people to react in a way she didn’t understand. She suspected it was because she didn’t feel things the way other kids did. Emotions like fear, guilt, and empathy eluded her. For the most part, she felt nothing. And she didn’t like the way that “nothing” felt.

In her role as a New York Times opinion section contributor and the publication’s “Work Friend” columnist, she reaches millions of readers with her wise voice and sharp insights.

In this valuable and revealing anthology, cultural critic and best-selling author Roxane Gay collects original and previously published pieces that address what it means to live in a world where women have to measure the harassment, violence, and aggression they face, and where they are "routinely second-guessed, blown off, discredited, denigrated, besmirched, belittled, patronized, mocked, shamed, gaslit, insulted, bullied" for speaking out. Contributions include essays from established and up-and-coming writers, performers, and critics.

Difficult story to hear
So many emotions came up for me during this book. It felt quite raw at times and I had to stop as I am a trauma survivor as well.
The chapters were so short that it felt disconnected at times. Other times I was happy she moved on.
I would recommend this book for anyone who is seeking self-acceptance and to love their body at any size.
For anyone who has experienced rape or sexual abuse please seek professional help.

Powerful, honest and relatable. Hearing her journey, she gave voice to all of my inner demons, all of the struggles that I face as a Woman of Size.

hard truths, soft hope
This book was so uncomfortable to sit with and I even resented the author during much of the book for all I was feeling for her and myself. Still I was determined to finish it, to honor the story, her memoir, which she was courageous in penning and sharing. Hunger is such a generous offering by Gay and I am filled with soft hope for her continued un-destruction.

HEARTBREAKINGLY HONEST
The author tells a story that although no doubt difficult to tell, is so much more difficult to live. Her story resonated with me, as a survivor of sexual abuse, with many of the same body issues as Ms. Gay. But more importantly, she gave me hope that perhaps some day I might be able to garner enough strength and perseverance make it through to the other side and have the perspective she has and be able to begin my journey of healing, as she has. #Audible1

A must-listen
This should be required listening to everyone on Audible (and beyond!!). What an exquisite collection of words which showcase the immense strength, resilience, and tenacity of Roxane Gay. To have it narrated by her made it that much more of a transformative experience. I will be re-listening to this again and again. Thank you, Roxane for allowing us in to your most personal and private thoughts.

A Powerful, Worthwhile Read
This brave and honest memoir of Roxane Gay’s struggle with food is a fresh and much-needed account of what it is like to live in a society that over/values thinness and fears the fat body. Thank you for writing this Roxane. You’re beautiful!

Overrated
I bought this book because of the great reviews, but I was not as blown away by it as other people seem to have been. Of course, Roxane’s horrific incident at 12 and the ways in which she tried to cope with it would touch anyone and elicit the deepest sympathies. For anyone to go through that, much less as a child, is a great burden to bear indeed. Roxane also has a deeply soothing voice, making the book generally a pleasure to listen to. However, although she makes some accurate observations about diet culture (e.g., how companies market thinness as happiness), I was annoyed and often angered by a lot of her comments regarding diet, exercise, and thinner people. She claims to be unhealthy not because of her weight but because of her high blood pressure (which is the result of…) and does not see exercise as anything but a means to lose weight (and hates seeing thinner people in the gym or achieving things on social media, because our existence apparently “mocks” her). A lot of the time, she does not take any real responsibility for her weight, and her conflicting desires to lose weight but maintain her armour is painfully irritating to the reader (or maybe that’s just me). Though she is open about her feelings about her body (and those feelings are, of course, valid), her victim mentality in all aspects of her life was really frustrating to listen to. I would not recommend this book for that reason.
