Crying in H Mart

Crying in H Mart
内容简介:

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.


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).

    每本母女之间的回忆录对我来说都是一种学习,好像是在“偷窥”别人家里,那种复杂的无法割舍的情感是怎样的。读书的时候也一直在想我妈会做的菜,我一道都不会。

    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。
