This is a book club episode. In it, Travis and Amanda will discuss and analyze the first half of CRYING IN H MART by Michelle Zauner. You should expect full “spoilers,” discussions of rhetorical elements, and celebrations / critiques of style and substance.
From the cover: “This is Zauner’s searingly candid coming-of-age story: of growing apart from, and then back together with, her Korean identity and of forging her own path in the wake of a devastating loss….Vivacious and plainspoken, lyrical and honest, Zauner’s voice is as radiantly alive on the page as it is onstage. CRYING IN H MART is an exquisite debut - a book to cherish, share, and reread.”
