"Roxane Gay describes her book Hunger as a ‘memoir about my body’. It traverses many of the issues surrounding our human bodies, the sexual experiences we have, our relationship with food, how we feel about our own bodies and the difference gender has to play on a body…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."

"This is another book I read in high school when I could not have possibly understood it. I read the whole thing, too, all seven volumes of it. I don’t know who I was trying to impress. At the time, I felt very sophisticated in figuring out that Charlus was gay and the first thing I did when I went to Paris was to go to a bakery and eat a madeleine. I’m still determined to read Proust’s epic depiction of society again. The newest translation sits on my desk but I think I’ll stick with my old Moncrieff. I’ve had a date with it since high school."

Huh...2.5 stars.

As mentioned in my previous N.R. Walker review, I seem to love all her books...apart from this one. I don't know what it was about it but i was a little bored by it.

I don't know if it's due to the other M/M series I've just read, where they were rather naughty questionable straight guys who ended up in gay relationships but this paled in comparison to the excitement I felt for the other stories.

It's probably unfair to compare them but that's the kind of mood I'm in right now.

It was far too sweet and gentle for me.
