While parts of the book are difficult to read, it highlights the very real damage done by sexual violence and puts you in the mind and body of someone that has to move through the world in a different way. A small insight or perspective I feel grateful for now having and understanding a little bit better. – источник2021-08-20T18:38:28.000Z
@stewartdantec I’ve intentionally read a lot of books this year and Hunger by @rgay has really stayed with me. More on my list at #AprilReads – источник2020-08-23T00:33:01.000Z
I just finished @rgay's brilliant memoir “Hunger.” It’s about so many things, and fascinating and compelling on many levels.
As someone who loves children’s literature and thinks about it a lot, I was also interested in how she talked about the books she loved as a child. – источник2021-07-18T04:25:35.000Z
I really recommend “Hunger” by @rgay - it sort of knocks you off your feet in the opening pages and keeps hitting you with hard but necessary truths and brave vulnerabilities until you breathlessly reach the end of the book. h/t @elenatej – источник
