In her new memoir, Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body, 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 anxieties over pleasure, consumption, appearance, and health.

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.

This July, Pages Unbound, Another Story Bookshop and HarperCollins Canada present the Toronto book launch for Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body. 

The event will feature a conversation with Gay and Kim Katrin Milan, a Q&A with the audience and a book signing. Launch takes place on July 5th at Trinity-St Paul’s (427 Bloor Street W). Doors open at 7 p.m. Event begins at 8 p.m. Advance tickets are sold out but there are a limited number of rush tickets available. More information available here.
