I often write stories about women who are perceived as cold and resent that perception. I write these women because I know what it's like to have so much warmth roiling beneath the skin's surface, ready to be found.
In her book "Hunger," author Roxane Gay explores the complexities of women who are often viewed as cold or distant. These characters resonate with her own experiences and feelings of being misunderstood. Gay captures the internal struggles these women face, highlighting a deep warmth and emotion that contrasts with their outward perception.
By writing about these women, Gay seeks to illuminate the hidden depths of their personalities and challenge societal judgments. Her stories reflect the tension between how women are seen and who they truly are, emphasizing the powerful emotions that can lie beneath a seemingly aloof exterior.
