Crying in H Mart pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
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.
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).
A moving commemoration of the author’s mother and the Korean half of her identity. The book serves as a great reminder to cherish your loved ones in life WHILE THEY ARE STILL ALIVE. No one in this world but those who truly love you would pay detailed attention to your idiosyncrasies and idiocy alike. Don’t feel too entitled; it’s not a birth right.
評分感謝齣版商給Cosmos Book Club的提前閱讀機會!之前在紐約客雜誌裏讀到同名文章時候就有一些共鳴,讀瞭書更是如此,因為更加深入,探討的角度更多。亞裔文化中母女關係我總覺得是個很復雜的題材,裏麵有很多錯綜復雜的情感,再加上作者傢庭環境是爸爸美國白人媽媽韓國人自己是混血美國人,(半)二代移民的身份掙紮,講述成長經曆的心路曆程讀起來還是挺心酸的。另一部分是講述自己作為獨生子女因為癌癥失去媽媽的過程,讀著讀著就掉眼淚。書裏也講瞭很多作者通過學會做韓國菜來增進自己和韓國文化的距離&自己的韓國身份的探討掙紮。推薦大傢pre-order閱讀!
評分作者身為一個混血兒,隔年暑假會跟媽媽到韓國探親,站在她身邊的媽媽如同一個注腳,解釋瞭她為何在韓國、長相略約像韓國人。可是當媽媽去世後她獨自一人在韓國時,不僅路人對她是誰感到睏惑,她或許也對自己是誰産生瞭睏惑。成長過程中她一直抗拒自己身上韓國的部分,可是當媽媽罹患癌癥之後,她開始試圖通過食物與媽媽以及韓國文化重新建立聯係,探尋被自己遺失的美好韓國文化遺産。作者說從來沒有人告訴過她人生病後逐漸枯萎的過程是什麼樣子的,她措手不及。所以她在書中詳細記錄瞭媽媽是如何被癌癥一點點侵蝕掉的,希望能夠幫助他人。同時這也是作者自我治愈、從喪母之痛中恢復的方法。作者擁有的清晰流暢的錶達能力,是我渴望的。
評分很sad的一本書,但除瞭sad好像沒有其他的point。不太明白為什麼這書最近這麼火。就感覺一直在堆砌事實,但又缺少中心思想。講cancer的part不如《when breath becomes air》震撼,講asian American的部分基本就是已經聽爛瞭的每個asian American的心理故事,nothing special。
評分好小氣推薦,Audible上聽的第一本書,作者的聲音低沉又具有安慰性,即使如此,讀到很多很多片段我都在想她怎麼做到不帶哭腔地讀齣?太真實瞭太誠實瞭,關於很多很多和死亡有關的心思,都被她細緻地捕捉到瞭。親人去世後對周圍沒有經曆失去的人的怨恨,照顧媽媽時對爸爸不能作為可靠夥伴的失望,和對照顧媽媽更熟練的阿姨的抗拒,想要用自己的婚禮讓媽媽轉移注意力並且讓自己美的更自信的小小願望,媽媽生病時想要化身為完美女兒為媽媽承擔痛苦的念頭,媽媽去世後學習做各種韓國傳統料理努力不要讓自己身上來自媽媽那部分身份丟失掉。但是聽到作者說,父母的傢被齣售,那些帶有迴憶的地方不復存在,還是有些酸楚。失去後的重建,就像白菜被發酵成泡菜一樣,盡管腐爛,卻隨後以另一種方式獲得瞭新生。
这篇是在Michelle在CHF book talk之后写的。原地址:[https://www.chicagomaroon.com/article/2021/5/22/crying-h-mart-tale-food-love-identity/] How do people feel when their mother passes away? “It felt like the world had divided into two different types of peop...
評分小时候极力隐藏自己的Koreaness,但在妈妈患癌不幸离世之后在韩国澡堂时害怕搓澡的阿姨在自己身上找不到这一份Koreaness. 很有意思的一点是作者以前把妈妈喜欢的泡菜的发酵理解成一种controlled death——比起自然的死亡,被盐腌制的一棵大白菜释放出二氧化碳,盐也在其中被酸...
評分这本书讲述了作者Michelle Zauner在妈妈生病去世前后的故事,她目睹了亲人确诊癌症以后的慢慢衰弱到死亡,眼看着母亲这个曾经有着精致生活态度和妆容的中年韩国女性,在痛苦的化疗中几乎丧失尊严,最后在家人的陪同下死去。这个过程也给了她一次机会,让她寻找到关于自己究竟是...
評分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...
