Read & Eat (special edition): Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner

Join us for a special edition of our Read & Eat series as we explore Crying in H Mart and Korean food and culture with WaWa in Berlin.
About this Event

For this special Read & Eat edition, you'll enjoy an exclusive concept menu inspired by Crying in H Mart - created especially for us by WaWa!
Typically our read and eat event goes as follows: intro round, order food, lots of yapping, enjoy food and then leave whenver you feel like it!
Book description:
In this exquisite story of family, food, grief, and endurance, Michelle Zauner proves herself far more than a dazzling singer, songwriter, and guitarist. With humour and heart, she tells of growing up the only Asian-American kid 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, 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 pancreatic 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.
