Michelle Zauner Reihenfolge der Bücher

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 one of the few Asian American kids 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, and 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 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, 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.

Barack Obamas Buch-Highlight 2021 Als Michelle mit Mitte zwanzig erfährt, dass ihre Mutter an Krebs erkrankt ist, steht die Welt für sie still. Sie lässt ihr bisheriges Leben in Philadelphia zurück und kehrt heim nach Oregon, in ihr abgelegenes Elternhaus, um ganz für ihre Mutter da zu sein. Doch schon ein halbes Jahr später stirbt die Mutter. Michelle begegnet ihrer Trauer, ihrer Wut, ihrer Angst mit einer Selbsttherapie: der koreanischen Küche. Sie kocht all die asiatischen Gerichte, die sie früher mit ihrer Mutter aß und erinnert sich dabei an die gemeinsame Zeit: an das Aufwachsen unter den Augen einer strengen und fordernden Mutter; an die quirligen Sommer in Seoul; an das Gefühl, weder in den USA noch in Korea ganz dazuzugehören. Und an die Körper und Seele wärmenden Gerichte, über denen sie und ihre Mutter immer wieder zusammengefunden haben.
