Michelle processes the death of her mother, reckoning with a sometimes complicated and difficult relationship. Unapologetically acknowledging her own shortcomings, she starts to face her future without her mother. I’d give this to book groups and fans if Elizabeth Berg. ( ) Ms. Zauner, who I understand is a pop artist, lost her mother to squamous-cell carcinoma as a young adult and this memoir explores the aspects of her grief, but also her relationship with her tough-love mother when she was alive and the shaping of her Korean-American identity. The novel is also an extension of her 2018 New Yorker essay of the same name, which comprises the novel’s first chapter and captures the essence of what the remainder of the story is about: a young woman trying to discover who she is without the mother who dominated her life. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"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."-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
