CRYING IN H MART by Michelle Zauner (Japanese Breakfast) - Book Review
In this brief, spoiler-free review I discuss my thoughts on Michelle Zauner's best-selling 2021 memoir "Crying in H Mart." This book has become viral, and I believe it's a sign for the future direction of Asian-American writing.

Very nice! thank you.
Excellent review. I never that about the father and Peter that way. Great point about how well Michelle unapologetically put Korean women at the forefront.
Thanks so much for your review! I got a lot out of it. I hope you keep building your channel.
Thank you very much for this review. Short, but informative. Liked that you talked about the "race" and sex perspective. They are important to me as a woman of color (who is also mixed). Looking forward to reading this book.

Pretty insane take when you said that not developing Zauner's husband is good because he is white instead of for some legitimate reason like conciseness or thematic focus. That's just racist dude. Also, you say that Zauner's father "as a white man has a huge looming shadow over her life story". Would her father not have influence over her if he was not white lol? Are you implying that white fathers being important to their nonwhite kids' stories is bad? wtf. Outside of what Zauner includes in the memoir, we don't understand her and father's relationship so to say that more focus on it would have been "incredibly toxic" is presumptuous at best. My book review "recommendation" is to be a little less racist.
