Hungry: A Biography of My Body
Autor Katriona O'Sullivanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 mar 2027
Raised in a home marked by poverty, addiction and abuse, Katriona defied the odds: from teenage motherhood struggling with her own addictions to becoming a university professor and successful author. But beneath the achievements lay a more private struggle - with her body, her worth, and the unrelenting drive to be enough.
In this fiercely honest memoir, she interrogates how trauma, class and gender shape the way women see themselves - and how society teaches them to measure their value.
Told with stunning courage and vulnerability, Hungry is both a personal reckoning and a powerful reclaiming of body, voice and self. It is one woman's story - and a rallying cry for every woman who has ever felt she had to shrink to survive.

Recenzii
Soaring with compassion, intelligence and hard-won wisdom, this standout book confirms that O'Sullivan is arguably Ireland's most important contemporary voice.
One of the most remarkable people you will ever meet.
Utterly compelling, deeply moving and brilliantly written, Hungry is a raw, insightful look at women's complex relationship with their bodies. Every woman needs to read this book. Every man needs to read this book.
Moving, uplifting, brave, heroic.
O'Sullivan is such a vivid, empathetic storyteller who writes so beautifully not just about the correlation between the body and poverty and abuse, but the intersection between sex, body image, culture and dieting. I doubt there's a woman alive who won't immediately see herself in these pages.
Hungry is more than a book: it's a song, a map, a journey. Amazing. I couldn't put it down.
A beautiful telling of determination despite the odds.
Hungry is a raw and brutal account of one woman's battle with her own body, as profound and honest as anything I have ever read.
Raw and remarkable.
Katriona O'Sullivan has come a long way from the poverty, chaos and abuse she knew growing up. A respected academic and bestselling author, she defied every expectation placed on the teenage mother she once was.
Yet even as the accolades arrived, old beliefs held fast. No degree, no award, no recognition could silence the sense that she was only worthy when her body looked the way society said it should.
In this fierce and fearless memoir, she pulls back the curtain on her journey: the relentless comparison to the curated bodies of strangers on the internet, the dangerous weight‑loss treatments, the attempts to reshape herself into an impossible ideal - and how she slowly learned to accept and love herself.
Hungry is an unforgettable examination of how gender, class and trauma shape a woman's sense of worth. It is one woman's story - and a rallying cry for every woman who has ever felt she had to shrink to survive.
