#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.

Eine wirklich interessanter, autobiografischer Roman aus Sicht einer koreanisch-amerikanischen Tochter, die ihre Mutter an den Krebs verliert. Besonders gut hat mir die Reflexion über die Vergangenheit, das gegenseitige Verhältnis und welche Rolle die koreanische Kultur und die Wurzeln dabei spielen. In einigen Situationen hätte ich gerne noch mehr Hintergründe oder mehr Vorgeschichte erfahren.

This book, wow. How do I even explain this. It’s just so… human. So mundane. Reading this was like listening to a friend talk about her life. The way the emotions were put into words was just right, not too simple, not too swollen. I even hate saying it, but it was simply just real. As someone who is incredibly close with her mom, it was interesting to see this kind of dynamic play out. Overall, while reading it, I didn’t even realise how much I enjoyed this book. But after finishing it just now I’m like… and why can’t I keep reading this forever every evening?

I’ve read this book in the weeks after my own mother had died from cancer. Unlike Michelle’s mom, my mothers death came surprisingly and unexpected. Robbing me of time to say goodbye and process what would happen when a loved one dies. This book helped me grief, rethink my relationship with my mother and my own journey as a mom. I’ve cried and I’ve laughed and most of all I’ve been craving Korean food heavily throughout the book.

I enjoyed the writing style. It took me some time to get into this book. I never read a memoir, so it might not be for me.

Dieses Memoir war für mich oft ein Spiegelvorhalten. Ein Sehen, was ich selbst immer so gemacht habe, um meiner Mutter zu gefallen - Menschen zu gefallen. Harter Tobak, wenn Mensch gerade an keinem guten Ort ist und eine gute Lektion für Menschen, die ihren Wert über andere definieren. 3.5 / 5 !

I couldn‘t look over the fact that the mother was abusive and still glorified

Half Korean girl loses mother ro cancer. Food reminds her of mother. Going to Korean supermarket makes her feel close to her.

It is a personal story. Sometimes it's interesting- sometimes it's not. Just like in life.

“Save your tears for when your mother dies.” Now that was a tear-jerker. A very emotional read for sure. If you've lost any relatives to cancer, I can see this book really connecting. It's basically the author going through the five stages of grief, reminiscing about her tumultuous relationship with her mother and her anger/regret about not being able to finally get to know her at a personal level. “I've just never met someone like you," - that really hit the nail on the head and pretty much encapsulates what I imagine a lot of parents feel when they're trying to understand and simultaneously guide their kids that are turning out to not be carbon-copies of the people who raised them. Very poignant. Zauner's mom had a lot of great quotes. Overall, really enjoyed this, and am gonna check out some of Zauner's music now since I'm curious.
