Reading Group: Michelle Zauner, Crying in H Mart
For Hilary’s first reading group, we will be discussing Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner. The book has been described as a ‘New York Times bestseller from the Grammy-nominated indie rockstar Japanese Breakfast, an unflinching, deeply moving memoir about growing up mixed-race, Korean food, losing her Korean mother, and forging her own identity in the wake of her loss.’
We will read this novel alongside other media including the New Yorker article it is based on, a YouTube cooking channel featured in the book, and Michelle Zauner’s own discography.
