Non-Fiction Book Group: Hunger

Posted

Join us for a lively discussion of Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body by Roxanne Gay at the Seekonk Library on Tuesday, February 26th at 6:00 pm. In this month’s selection, the author of the New York Times bestseller Bad Feminist explores how a personal tragedy in her youth affected her relationship with food and body image. Gay gives an unflinching look at what it’s like to live in the world when you’re a morbidly obese black woman. This book, as well as each following months’, will leave you wondering how this story could possibly be true. As it turns out, you can’t make this stuff up…

Our book group meets on the last Tuesday of every month at 6 PM and tackles a variety of nonfiction topics from gambling to birding and even mortality itself; it’s nonfiction that fiction readers can enjoy. New members are most welcome. Even if you only read a small portion of the book we’d love to hear what you have to say!

This program is free and open to all.
