"Crying in H Mart" is a memoir by Michelle Zauner that explores her complex relationship with her mother, Chongmi, particularly through the lens of food and her Korean heritage, following Chongmi's death from cancer when Zauner was 25. The memoir delves into Zauner's grief, identity, and the interconnectedness of food, family, and cultural memory. It also examines Zauner's experiences growing up in America as a Korean-American, navigating cultural expectations, and grappling with feelings of belonging.
