Katriona O’Sullivan on hunger, body image and the search for pleasure

Katriona O’Sullivan’s remarkable memoir Poor saw her become a
household name. But her new book, Hungry: A Memoir of my Body is
her story told through a different lens, one of sexual abuse,
disordered eating, diet culture, and the search for sexual
pleasure.


In this interview, recorded at St Luke’s in front of a live
audience as part of the Cork World Book Festival, Katriona talks
candidly about the abuse she suffered as a child, how she grew
apart from her body through repeated abuse and sexualisation, and
how she learned to find pleasure in it as an adult. And, how
she’d like to become a brand ambassador for Triton – listen to
find out why.
