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.
##感謝齣版商給Cosmos Book Club的提前閱讀機會!之前在紐約客雜誌裏讀到同名文章時候就有一些共鳴,讀瞭書更是如此,因為更加深入,探討的角度更多。亞裔文化中母女關係我總覺得是個很復雜的題材,裏麵有很多錯綜復雜的情感,再加上作者傢庭環境是爸爸美國白人媽媽韓國人自己是混血美國人,(半)二代移民的身份掙紮,講述成長經曆的心路曆程讀起來還是挺心酸的。另一部分是講述自己作為獨生子女因為癌癥失去媽媽的過程,讀著讀著就掉眼淚。書裏也講瞭很多作者通過學會做韓國菜來增進自己和韓國文化的距離&自己的韓國身份的探討掙紮。推薦大傢pre-order閱讀!
評分##有一些部分是很感人的。但是作為一本書敘事結構設計的不太閤理,導緻略顯冗長。
評分##寫得細膩感人,現在讀這種書都會自我帶入媽媽的角色瞭,也是好想要個女兒啊…我對於自己的身份就沒有什麼attachment,會留給孩子什麼呢?
評分##這本書,尤其是後半本幾乎讓我一直哭到結束。非常感人的母女迴憶錄。食物在人的味覺中,也埋在人的最深的記憶中。
評分##The book is characterized by Michelle’s identity and abilities to evoke images through the smallest of details. Love can be complex yet difficult, and it is represented in many ways, especially food, through which man searches for a piece of home or themselves. Likewise, readers empathize with the author to echo ourselves. //感謝Jae Yeon Kim的推薦!
評分##文筆真的太一般瞭…
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##亞洲人最能理解這種食物承載一切的情緒,食物既能觸發情緒也能充當therapy。Chongmi是一個極為典型的韓國/東亞母親:精緻,嚴格,給人陣痛和愛,身為混血的Michelle總在懷疑自己的白人父親是否真的有Asian fetish,或許也是典型的Wasian心境。Japanese Breakfast成功瞭,她現在給Mitski開場(多希望有生之年我能再看見一次),和年少時崇拜過的Karen O對談,一定是因為媽媽在天堂踩著上帝的脖子要求他給Michelle好運吧。(在控血脂期讀這本格外煎熬,每天都想吃韓餐;以及恰逢她新專巡演,火速購買明年在倫敦的gig票,I’m having a major Japanese Breakfast Fever.)
