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.

Personal This book is so personal that I'm not sure if serving the audience is its first priority. Sometimes, I feel I was just peeking at a stranger's unretouched diary. I won't complain too much though as I was secretly just looking for a good cry via som...
評分 評分 評分這本書講述瞭作者Michelle Zauner在媽媽生病去世前後的故事,她目睹瞭親人確診癌癥以後的慢慢衰弱到死亡,眼看著母親這個曾經有著精緻生活態度和妝容的中年韓國女性,在痛苦的化療中幾乎喪失尊嚴,最後在傢人的陪同下死去。這個過程也給瞭她一次機會,讓她尋找到關於自己究竟是...
評分小時候極力隱藏自己的Koreaness,但在媽媽患癌不幸離世之後在韓國澡堂時害怕搓澡的阿姨在自己身上找不到這一份Koreaness. 很有意思的一點是作者以前把媽媽喜歡的泡菜的發酵理解成一種controlled death——比起自然的死亡,被鹽醃製的一棵大白菜釋放齣二氧化碳,鹽也在其中被酸...
圖書標籤:
很sad的一本書,但除瞭sad好像沒有其他的point。不太明白為什麼這書最近這麼火。就感覺一直在堆砌事實,但又缺少中心思想。講cancer的part不如《when breath becomes air》震撼,講asian American的部分基本就是已經聽爛瞭的每個asian American的心理故事,nothing special。
評分文筆真的太一般瞭…
評分「I feel like i am losing a part of my culture because of death.」It was like she was talking to me, to someone who has experienced loss...A pure and touching memoir.「A book to cherish, share and reread.」yes, it is.
評分每本母女之間的迴憶錄對我來說都是一種學習,好像是在“偷窺”彆人傢裏,那種復雜的無法割捨的情感是怎樣的。讀書的時候也一直在想我媽會做的菜,我一道都不會。
評分簽到瞭喜歡的書,在翻譯瞭,明年上半年應該能做齣來
