Michelle Zauner<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

From the indie rockstar of Japanese Breakfast<\/em><\/a> fame, and author of the viral 2018 New Yorker<\/em> 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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<\/a>; of struggling with her mother\u2019s particular, high expectations of her; of a painful adolescence; of treasured months spent in her grandmother\u2019s tiny apartment in Seoul<\/a>, where she and her mother would bond, late at night, over heaping plates of food.<\/p>\n

As she grew up, moving to the East Coast<\/a> for college, finding work in the restaurant industry, and performing gigs with her fledgling band\u2013and meeting the man who would become her husband\u2013her Koreanness began to feel ever more distant, even as she found the life she wanted to live. It was her mother\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Vivacious and plainspoken, lyrical and honest, Zauner\u2019s 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<\/em> is a book to cherish, share, and reread.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
