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.

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##簽到瞭喜歡的書,在翻譯瞭,明年上半年應該能做齣來
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##有點無趣。棄
評分##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.
