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).
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.
##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。

评分 评分##母亲和食物,催人泪下
评分##感谢出版商给Cosmos Book Club的提前阅读机会!之前在纽约客杂志里读到同名文章时候就有一些共鸣,读了书更是如此,因为更加深入,探讨的角度更多。亚裔文化中母女关系我总觉得是个很复杂的题材,里面有很多错综复杂的情感,再加上作者家庭环境是爸爸美国白人妈妈韩国人自己是混血美国人,(半)二代移民的身份挣扎,讲述成长经历的心路历程读起来还是挺心酸的。另一部分是讲述自己作为独生子女因为癌症失去妈妈的过程,读着读着就掉眼泪。书里也讲了很多作者通过学会做韩国菜来增进自己和韩国文化的距离&自己的韩国身份的探讨挣扎。推荐大家pre-order阅读!
