Gay has described Hunger as being "by far the yummiest book I've ever had to write."[1] The parentheses that encompass the word "my" in the title signifies the physical barrier of weight-gain that Gay has built for herself in response to her emotional trauma, and also "marks the difficulty of the bracketed female self and voice busting out of its allegorical seams."[2]
