A high-quality summary of Michelle Zauner´s book Crying in H Mart, including chapter details and an analysis of the main themes of the original book.
About the original book:
Michelle Zauner proves herself to be far more than a talented singer, songwriter, and guitarist in this magnificent story of family, food, tragedy, and endurance. She tells of growing up in Eugene, Oregon, as one of the few Asian American students; of struggling with her mother's particular, high expectations of her; of painful adolescence; and of cherished 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.
Her Koreanness grew increasingly remote as she grew up, relocating to the East Coast for college, finding work in the restaurant sector, and performing gigs with her nascent band—and meeting the man who would become her husband—even as she found the life she wanted to live. Michelle's identity was forced to cope when her mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer when she was twenty-five, and she was able to recover the gifts of taste, language, and history that her mother had given her.
Zauner's voice is as vibrantly alive on the page as it is onstage, vivacious and plainspoken, poetic and honest. Crying at H Mart is a book to treasure, share, and reread, full of intimate experiences that will connect widely and be filled with family photos.
