Crying in H Mart : A Memoir
256 pages | Hardcover
AĂ NEW YORK TIMESĂ NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEARà ââŹÂ˘Ă NEW YORK TIMESĂ BEST SELLERà ââŹÂ˘ From the indie rockstar of Japanese Breakfast fame, and author of the viral 2018Ă New YorkerĂ 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 motherââŹâ˘s particular, high expectations of her; of a painful adolescence; of treasured months spent in her grandmotherââŹâ˘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 bandââŹâand meeting the man who would become her husbandââŹâher Koreanness began to feel ever more distant, even as she found the life she wanted to live. It was her motherââŹâ˘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, ZaunerââŹâ˘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,Ă Crying in H MartĂ is a book to cherish, share, and reread.
