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.
##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!

评分##这本书,尤其是后半本几乎让我一直哭到结束。非常感人的母女回忆录。食物在人的味觉中,也埋在人的最深的记忆中。
评分##很sad的一本书,但除了sad好像没有其他的point。不太明白为什么这书最近这么火。就感觉一直在堆砌事实,但又缺少中心思想。讲cancer的part不如《when breath becomes air》震撼,讲asian American的部分基本就是已经听烂了的每个asian American的心理故事,nothing special。
评分##每本母女之间的回忆录对我来说都是一种学习,好像是在“偷窥”别人家里,那种复杂的无法割舍的情感是怎样的。读书的时候也一直在想我妈会做的菜,我一道都不会。
