520    "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"-
