Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner6/28/2023 ![]() ![]() Now, Zauner cries in H Mart, looking at the children eating ppeongtwigi, a food of her childhood, or seeing an older Korean woman, knowing her mother didn’t get to live to be that old. “Crying in H Mart” revolves around Zauner's relationship with her Korean mother, who died of cancer in 2014. On June 4, 2021, Japanese Breakfast released their third album “Jubilee” touching on a lot of the same themes in the book. ![]() This memoir, published on April 20, 2021, is an expansion of Zauner's essay of the same name which was published in The New Yorker on August 20, 2018. Zauner is the lead singer and guitarist of Japanese Breakfast. Zauner doesn’t ease into it, sharing right away that this is a book about her and her mother: the good, the bad, the grief and the culture they shared. It is terrifically simple yet tells you everything you need to know about what you are about to read. However, after finishing the book, I can soundly say this is one of my favorite opening lines of any book. ![]()
