Crying in H Mart: A Memoir is a 2021 memoir by Michelle Zauner, singer and guitarist of the musical project Japanese Breakfast. It is her debut book, published on April 20, 2021, by Alfred A. Knopf.[1][2] It is an expansion of Zauner's essay of the same name which was published in The New Yorker on August 20, 2018.[3][4] The book debuted at number two on The New York Times nonfiction best-seller list for the week ending April 24, 2021.[5] The book has four "positive" reviews and ten "rave" reviews, according to review aggregator Book Marks.[6]

Its title is a reference to H Mart, a Korean-American supermarket chain.[7]

Reception[]

Publishers Weekly, in their review, wrote, "The prose is lyrical if at times overwrought, but Zauner does a good job capturing the grief of losing a parent with pathos."[8]

Kristen Martin of NPR called it a "rare acknowledgement of the ravages of cancer in a culture obsessed with seeing it as an enemy that can be battled with hope and strength."[9]

Film adaptation[]

On June 7, 2021, it was announced that Crying in H Mart: A Memoir would be getting a feature film adaptation at Orion Pictures. Zauner will adapt the film and provide the film's soundtrack (as Japanese Breakfast).[10]
