Contents:

Leaving the motherland, mother leaving me -- Unsettled independence -- In search of paradise -- Body cravings.

Summary: The author looks at his past through the lens of hunger. The need for sustenance originating in childhood poverty, the adolescent emotional need for solace and comfort, the adult desire for a larger world, another lover, a different body - all are explored in a series of vignettes. Each vignette is a defining moment of self-awareness, every moment an important step in a lifelong journey toward clarity, knowledge, and the nourishment that comes in various forms - even "the smallest biggest joys" help piece together a complex portrait of a gay man of color who at last defines himself by what he learns, not by what he yearns for.--adapted from publisher's website.
