#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the indie rock sensation known as Japanese Breakfast, an unforgettable memoir about family, food, grief, love, and growing up Korean American--"in losing her mother and cooking to bring her back to life, Zauner became herself" (NPR). - CELEBRATING OVER ONE YEAR ON THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LIST 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.
#1 《紐約時報》暢銷書籍 - 來自被譽為日本早餐的獨立搖滾天后的難忘回憶錄，講述了關於家庭、食物、悲傷、愛情和成長的故事，以及她作為韓裔美國人的成長過程 - 「在失去母親並通過烹飪將她帶回生活中，Zauner找到了自己」（NPR） - 在《紐約時報》暢銷書籍榜上慶祝一年以上的時間
在這個關於家庭、食物、悲傷和堅持的精美故事中，Michelle Zauner證明了自己不僅僅是一位令人驚艷的歌手、詞曲創作人和吉他手。她以幽默和真情告訴我們，在奧勒岡州尤金市的學校裡，她是少數亞裔美國孩子之一；她與母親對她的特殊、極高的期望的掙扎；她痛苦的青春期；她在首爾祖母的小公寓中度過的寶貴時光，她和母親會在深夜時分圍著滿滿的食物盤子旁結下深厚的情感。
隨著她的成長，她搬到東海岸上大學，找到餐飲業的工作，和她初出茅廬的樂團一起演出 - 並遇到了成為她丈夫的男人 - 她的韓國身份開始感覺越來越遙遠，即使她找到了自己想要的生活。當Michelle二十五歲時，她母親被診斷出晚期癌症，這迫使她重新思考自己的身份，並重新獲得母親給予她的味覺、語言和歷史的禮物。
Zauner的聲音在舞台上和書頁上一樣生動活潑，豐富而直率。這本書充滿了觸動人心的私人故事，將引起廣泛共鳴，並附有家庭照片，《Crying in H Mart》是一本值得珍藏、分享和重讀的書籍。
MICHELLE ZAUNER is best known as the two-time Grammy nominated musician 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).
