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).
Not until someone else describes it I realize how Asian/Chinese I am and always will be.
評分母親和食物,催人淚下
評分亞洲人最能理解這種食物承載一切的情緒,食物既能觸發情緒也能充當therapy。Chongmi是一個極為典型的韓國/東亞母親:精緻,嚴格,給人陣痛和愛,身為混血的Michelle總在懷疑自己的白人父親是否真的有Asian fetish,或許也是典型的Wasian心境。Japanese Breakfast成功瞭,她現在給Mitski開場(多希望有生之年我能再看見一次),和年少時崇拜過的Karen O對談,一定是因為媽媽在天堂踩著上帝的脖子要求他給Michelle好運吧。(在控血脂期讀這本格外煎熬,每天都想吃韓餐;以及恰逢她新專巡演,火速購買明年在倫敦的gig票,I’m having a major Japanese Breakfast Fever.)
評分Not until someone else describes it I realize how Asian/Chinese I am and always will be.
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...
