MICHELLE ZAUNER is best known as a singer and guitarist who creates dreamy, shoegaze-inspired indie pop under the name Japanese Breakfast. She has won acclaim from major music outlets around the world for releases like Psychopomp (2016) and Soft Sounds from Another Planet (2017).
From the indie rockstar of Japanese Breakfast fame, and author of the viral 2018 New Yorker essay that shares the title of this book, an unflinching, powerful memoir about growing up Korean American, losing her mother, and forging her own identity.
In this exquisite story of family, food, grief, and endurance, Michelle Zauner proves herself far more than a dazzling singer, songwriter, and guitarist. With humor and heart, she tells of growing up one of the few Asian American kids at her school in Eugene, Oregon; of struggling with her mother’s particular, high expectations of her; of a painful adolescence; of treasured months spent in her grandmother’s tiny apartment in Seoul, where she and her mother would bond, late at night, over heaping plates of food.
As she grew up, moving to the East Coast for college, finding work in the restaurant industry, and performing gigs with her fledgling band–and meeting the man who would become her husband–her Koreanness began to feel ever more distant, even as she found the life she wanted to live. It was her mother’s diagnosis of terminal cancer, when Michelle was twenty-five, that forced a reckoning with her identity and brought her to reclaim the gifts of taste, language, and history her mother had given her.
Vivacious and plainspoken, lyrical and honest, Zauner’s voice is as radiantly alive on the page as it is onstage. Rich with intimate anecdotes that will resonate widely, and complete with family photos, Crying in H Mart is a book to cherish, share, and reread.
Tears will be shed reading this touching memoir from Michelle about her relationship with her mum. It is a very unique and personal experience because I can relate to many different aspects of the book (food and the identity crisis, relationship with the pa...
评分Personal This book is so personal that I'm not sure if serving the audience is its first priority. Sometimes, I feel I was just peeking at a stranger's unretouched diary. I won't complain too much though as I was secretly just looking for a good cry via som...

感谢出版商给Cosmos Book Club的提前阅读机会!之前在纽约客杂志里读到同名文章时候就有一些共鸣,读了书更是如此,因为更加深入,探讨的角度更多。亚裔文化中母女关系我总觉得是个很复杂的题材,里面有很多错综复杂的情感,再加上作者家庭环境是爸爸美国白人妈妈韩国人自己是混血美国人,(半)二代移民的身份挣扎,讲述成长经历的心路历程读起来还是挺心酸的。另一部分是讲述自己作为独生子女因为癌症失去妈妈的过程,读着读着就掉眼泪。书里也讲了很多作者通过学会做韩国菜来增进自己和韩国文化的距离&自己的韩国身份的探讨挣扎。推荐大家pre-order阅读!

评分屡屡鼻酸,too relatable. 和母亲的对抗与和解,通过食物追忆探寻identity和cultural roots. Michelle的声音有一种unfeigned vulnerability.
评分The book is characterized by Michelle’s identity and abilities to evoke images through the smallest of details. Love can be complex yet difficult, and it is represented in many ways, especially food, through which man searches for a piece of home or themselves. Likewise, readers empathize with the author to echo ourselves. //感谢Jae Yeon Kim的推荐!
