Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner

A memoir documenting the grief the author faces coping with her mother’s cancer diagnosis and death. A beautiful and heartfelt story about family and identity as Zauner places her complex relationship with her mother under a microscope. They find understanding and comfort in food and through the author trying to connect with her Korean heritage more. Another name you might recognize more than Michelle Zauner is Japanese Breakfast. If you have ever listened to this band and thought highly of the lyricism, just know Zauner breathes all the same artistic talent and thought into her novel. I can’t recommend Crying in H Mart enough, it is truly an amazing memoir.

CRYING IN H MART BY MICHELLE ZAUNER

My flatmate lent me this beautiful, moving memoir by Michelle Zauner (the lead singer of Japanese Breakfast), which is all about her losing her mum to cancer in her 20s. Her prose is gentle, precise and insightful, as she tries to make sense of her mum, and her half-Korean identity now that her link to it has left this world, through their shared relationship with, and love of, Korean food. Highly recommend - I don't even listen to Japanese Breakfast; she's just a brilliant, soulful writer in her own right 🍳

crying in h mart by michelle zauner

i love a good music memoir and japanese breakfast is one of my favorite bands out there right now. this book was an amazing read, zauner has a really great voice to her writing and is an amazing storyteller. i thought this book was extremely moving and a unique way to tell her story. and it’s also fun to know the backstories of my favorite songs as well. highly recommend if you like memoirs, music and to cry a little bit when you read.

become a hater

use the scroll time to instead educate yourself on the billionaires making money off of your life and attention with these apps (i.e. how much money they make per minute/post, how algorithms are made like slot machines, subliminal targeted ads between posts, etc.) and you will find yourself naturally disgusted/enraged every time you open those apps instead of ashamed/frustrated. it's difficult to pull yourself out of a scroll, but the more you practice, the easier it can become. highly recommend the yt vid that hazelisonline made on this!! good luck 🍻
