Crying in H Mart: A Memoir

Crying in H Mart is a bestselling memoir by Michelle Zauner that blends family, food, grief, and resilience. Through intimate, humorous, and lyrical storytelling, Zauner traces her journey from growing up as one of the few Asian American kids in Eugene, Oregon, to finding her own voice as a musician and writer. The book delves into her relationship with her Korean mother, the impact of her mother’s terminal cancer, and the ways cooking and memory helped Zauner reconnect with her heritage. Along the way, she reflects on identity, language, and belonging, sharing vivid anecdotes from Seoul, college on the East Coast, and life in the restaurant world and a fledgling band before achieving broader recognition. Warm, candid, and deeply personal, Crying in H Mart celebrates memory, family, and the flavors that bind them.

Zauner’s memoir is complemented by family photos and rich, accessible storytelling. It has resonated with a wide audience and spent more than a year on the New York Times bestseller list.
