About the two books 關于閱讀材料

Michelle Zauner’s Crying in H-Mart (2021) is a bestselling memoir that intertwines personal narrative with cultural reflection. Written by the Korean American musician best known as the lead singer of Japanese Breakfast, the book recounts Zauner’s coming-of-age, her complex relationship with her mother, and her experiences of grief after her mother’s death from cancer. Food—particularly Korean cuisine—serves as both motif and metaphor, anchoring memories of family, heritage, and loss.

Celebrated for its lyrical prose and emotional candor, Crying in H-Mart explores themes of identity, diaspora, and mourning, while also demonstrating how intimate personal experiences can be rendered with literary artistry. The memoir quickly became a New York Times bestseller and was named one of the best books of the year by numerous publications.

Tara Westover’s Educated (2018) is a memoir that traces the author’s journey from a survivalist family in rural Idaho to earning a PhD at the University of Cambridge. Raised without formal schooling and isolated from mainstream society, Westover recounts her struggle to reconcile loyalty to her family with her desire for education and autonomy.

The book explores themes of memory, resilience, and the power of learning, while also questioning the boundaries between truth and personal narrative. Acclaimed for its vivid storytelling and nuanced portrayal of family conflict, Educated became an international bestseller and was named one of the New York Times’s Ten Best Books of the Year.
