Hunger

Roxane Gay

Recommended by 1 person on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 7d is days, 4yr is years.

Debbie Millman recommends it
But more recently, in 2017, I started reading a book called Hunger by Roxang Gay. And when I read that book, I fell in love with the author, sight unseen, just reading her words. So much so that I reached out to her. I wanted to get her on my podcast. She said no. I tried to stay in touch. She was very squirly about it. And then through a mutual friend, she got wind that I was actually not a crazy person.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
