Lisa Eckstein’s Reviews > Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body > Status Update

"The story of my life is wanting, hungering, for what I cannot have or, perhaps, wanting what I dare not allow myself to have."

"I got older and realized I was exhausted by all my self-loathing and that I was hating myself, in part, because I assumed that's what other people expected from me, as if my self-hatred was the price I needed to pay for living in an overweight body."

This is a fascinating mix of concise chronological memoir and frank, thoughtful musings on body and food.

This is, of course, intense and beautiful and powerfully honest.
