(  ) cbwalsh | Sep 13, 2023 | This is a memoir of a Korean-American woman with large amounts of discussion of Korean food - foods she loved earlier in life, foods she made haltingly, foods her mother made at particular times - such as each time she returned to visit her mother - food she learned to cook as an adult - what the ingredients are for these foods, and some about how to buy them in the U.S., and some foods she only had on her visits to Korea. Another large - and to me "poignant" part of the book was about the diagnosis of her mother's illness, the author's efforts at being present for her mother during that illness and the long, difficult treatment regimen, and her mother's ultimate death from the disease. Her description of the illness and death of her mother was, for me, quite moving. There were also some parts about the author's efforts to make it in music (which she did after years of trying with her band), about her meeting and developing of a relationship with the man she married during the latter stages of her mother's illness, and about her life after her mother's death. (  ) RickGeissal | Aug 16, 2023 | A fantastic look at life, grief, growing up in Eugene, Oregon, with a Korean mother and white American father, food, family, language, and forging a creative career (music). I did not read this when everyone was, as I usually find popular books disappointing. When I found this on my library's new Libby audio available now list--and saw that Zauner read it herself--I immediately checked it out. And it was great. I loved the combination of food, culture, family, and dreams. Excellent. ( ) Dreesie | Aug 10, 2023 | Grief is subjective, every person processes it differently. Crying in H Mart is a beautiful memoir that tackles the complexities in life as the author processes the loss of her mother. As an Asian (Indian) kid, I found solace in the similarities I found with the author's relationship with her parents and family. I rediscovered how subtle things and acts that usually go unnoticed turn to haunt us with memories of our loved ones that we lost. This is a relatable, powerful story and it hit me harder than I thought it would. I recently lost my paternal grandmother and never really got over my paternal grandfathers death even after 9 years. I revisit the times I spent with them, regret the chances I missed out on and my heart decides to breakdown in their memory every once in a while. Reading this memoir felt like a warm hug, a reminder that I am not alone and that THIS IS OKAY. It is never easy to live in a world deficit of your beloved and if time does not heal this completely, it is NORMAL! This was just so moving. Thank you Michelle Zauner for writing your story for all of us. ( ) AnrMarri | Aug 1, 2023 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"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 the only Asian-American kid 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, 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 pancreatic 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, Michelle 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"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
