Join acclaimed indie musician and author Michelle Zauner (a.k.a. Japanese Breakfast) for a conversation with Vulture’s E. Alex Jung about her third album, Jubilee, and her new bestselling memoir, Crying in H Mart.
A beautiful meditation on family, grief, and growing up Korean American, Crying in H Mart establishes Zauner as an assured and clear new voice in the American literary landscape - a stirring counterpoint to her hauntingly innovative and celebratory new music as Japanese Breakfast. Hear her discuss the inception of both the memoir and the record - writing about grief while making music about joy, the contrasts between writing books and writing songs, her upcoming projects, and much more.

I've watched this interview a few times....it's just so good. The conversation was so natural, the questions were so thoughtful (you can tell E. Alex Jung truly read the book with curiosity), and I take away something new every time.

My parents were both Korean immigrants and I'm just realizing how weird it was that my mom had us eat bossam with sweet store-bought barbeque sauce. Maybe it's cause our americanized palates were too used to sweet sauces like ketchup, as opposed to gochujang.

I find gochujang sweet. It less the cloying fructose corn sweetness and more a mellow maltose type of sweet.

I feel like she's pretty elitist.. like , "korean bonafides".. I'm just a poor latino.. she is pretty arrogant, IMO.

And her BF is a hack,, JMO

[@maybritt6457]

The way she pronounces kalbi makes me wonder if her mom was even Korean.

[@SDGage]

Get out of here with that negative shit. ✌️

Crying In H Mart starring Anya Taylor Joy as Michelle Zauner and Tila Tequila as Mom. Ms Tequila's Asian buck teeth prosthetic and "Harro Amellica!" was a little over the top but it's one of her better performances to date. Joy knocks it out the park, White savior at it again!
