Japanese Breakfast's Michelle Zauner has signed a book deal for her memoir, Crying in H Mart, with Knopf. Crying in H Mart
is Zauner's story about growing up Korean-American, losing her mother
too young, searching for identity in a hybrid culture, and finding a
passion for her ancestry and Korean cooking as a way to heal and return
to her roots in the wake of loss. Her writing has previously appeared in The New Yorker and Glamour Magazine.
The North American rights for the book were acquired by Robin Desser at Knopf, at auction, by Brettne Bloom at The Book Group. Jenny Meyer is handling UK and translation rights.
