评分 评分战线拉的太长了有点忘记刚开始写啥了 总体来说感觉一般般 写母亲从确诊那一段到去世的心情转变确实是很真实 但是到后来地接受了以后就写得真的很平淡… 读的时候有想到when breath becomes air作者是怎么面对自己生命的逝去的 虽然视角不同但是同类型且珠玉在前真的是会比较 然...
评分小时候极力隐藏自己的Koreaness,但在妈妈患癌不幸离世之后在韩国澡堂时害怕搓澡的阿姨在自己身上找不到这一份Koreaness. 很有意思的一点是作者以前把妈妈喜欢的泡菜的发酵理解成一种controlled death——比起自然的死亡,被盐腌制的一棵大白菜释放出二氧化碳,盐也在其中被酸...
评分这本书讲述了作者Michelle Zauner在妈妈生病去世前后的故事,她目睹了亲人确诊癌症以后的慢慢衰弱到死亡,眼看着母亲这个曾经有着精致生活态度和妆容的中年韩国女性,在痛苦的化疗中几乎丧失尊严,最后在家人的陪同下死去。这个过程也给了她一次机会,让她寻找到关于自己究竟是...

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.
好小气推荐,Audible上听的第一本书,作者的声音低沉又具有安慰性,即使如此,读到很多很多片段我都在想她怎么做到不带哭腔地读出?太真实了太诚实了,关于很多很多和死亡有关的心思,都被她细致地捕捉到了。亲人去世后对周围没有经历失去的人的怨恨,照顾妈妈时对爸爸不能作为可靠伙伴的失望,和对照顾妈妈更熟练的阿姨的抗拒,想要用自己的婚礼让妈妈转移注意力并且让自己美的更自信的小小愿望,妈妈生病时想要化身为完美女儿为妈妈承担痛苦的念头,妈妈去世后学习做各种韩国传统料理努力不要让自己身上来自妈妈那部分身份丢失掉。但是听到作者说,父母的家被出售,那些带有回忆的地方不复存在,还是有些酸楚。失去后的重建,就像白菜被发酵成泡菜一样,尽管腐烂,却随后以另一种方式获得了新生。
评分如何失去又如何retain memories?亚裔文化里的母女关系总是让人有很多共鸣,比如关于食物的执着与爱,比如对彼此的期待以及不解,比如从依赖到逃离。很喜欢对食物,做饭的过程以及那些依然在作者记忆里关于文化的点点滴滴的描绘。最潸然泪下的片段是一个做饭的片段。有很多很喜欢的小细节和一些背景里的感受。
评分母亲和食物,催人泪下
评分屡屡鼻酸,too relatable. 和母亲的对抗与和解,通过食物追忆探寻identity和cultural roots. Michelle的声音有一种unfeigned vulnerability.
评分文笔真的太一般了…
