Abstract
Full of Hunger is a three-part collection of interlinked stories—each part originally anchored by one protagonist, but has evolved, with the help of sub-characters giving glimpses of their own stories while furthering those of others, into a polyphonic telling of multiple relationships and experiences. From each character’s story comes their own first-person perspective, as well as the perspectives of others around them, to show their complexities as they struggle with internal family issues, outside forces of poverty and addiction, a sense of identity and belonging as first-born Americans from Portuguese immigrants, and an overall sense of morality.
