It is the story of a mother's love for her son, her family, and her unrelenting efforts to break that siege in their lives. A story of redemption and salvation through a personal awakening and the efforts of a community that refused to watch the continued destruction. A roller coaster ride of blood, pain, tears, and fury. Told through the eyes of a man who found himself deep in the belly of a monster; swallowed whole by the white knuckle grip of addiction. A mother's love and her desperate attempt to break the cycle was the path to redemption, but would he choose to follow it?
Download or read book Crying in H Mart written by Michelle Zauner and published by Picador. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVOURITE BOOKS OF 2021 From the indie rockstar Japanese Breakfast, an unflinching, powerful, deeply moving memoir about growing up mixed-race, Korean food, losing her Korean mother, and forging her own identity. In this exquisite story of family, food, grief, and endurance, Michelle Zauner proves herself far more than a dazzling singer, songwriter, and guitarist. With humor 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. Vivacious and plainspoken, lyrical and honest, Michelle Zauner's voice is as radiantly alive on the page as it is onstage. Rich with intimate anecdotes that will resonate widely, Crying in H Mart is a book to cherish, share, and reread. PRAISE FOR CRYING IN H MART 'Michelle Zauner's Crying In H Mart is as good as everyone says it is and, yes, it will have you in tears. An essential read for anybody who has lost a loved one, as well as those who haven't.' Marie-Claire 'The book's descriptions of jjigae, tteokbokki, and other Korean delicacies stand out as tokens of the deep, all-encompassing love between Zauner and her mother, a love that is charted in vivid descriptions of her mother after death; in a time when people around the world are reckoning with untold loss due to COVID-19, Zauner's frankness around death feels like an unexpected yet deeply necessary gift.' Vogue 'Zauner's writing is powerful in its straight-forwardness, though some turns of phrases are as beautiful as any song lyric... but it is her ability to convey how her mother's simple offering of a rice snack was actually an act of the truest love that leaves the most indelible impression.' Refinery 29 'Poignant . . . A tender, well-rendered, heart-wrenching account of the way food ties us to those who have passed. The author delivers mouthwatering descriptions of dishes like pajeon, jatjuk, and gimbap, and her storytelling is fluid, honest, and intimate . . . Zauner's ability to let us in through taste makes her book stand out- she makes us feel like we are in her mother's kitchen, singing her praises.' Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Download or read book Shishya written by Birri Sangha and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-06-24 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Shishya is he who sees the living flame within” Shishya “the internal guiding light” will help enlighten and take the reader through a personal journey of self discovery. In this exceptional debut, the spiritual poet, Biri Sangha shares a deep insight into raw emotion and feeling. The tenderness of love and despair when it is gone, compounds Shishya's underlying mood of human nature. The poems capture the very essence of empty yearning through to celebration of self discovery and hope... As you discover the “Shishya” you will discover the path to true light, you will understand the need for the soul to be fragmented before it can be fused together again...stronger, wiser, more beautiful... The testing comes before reinforcing... The hardship comes before the celebration... Death of all fear comes before the birth of a soul reawakened, a child reborn. Most journeys are outwards but the most interesting journey is the journey inwards to the centre of your thoughts. This is where it all begins-the source of all thoughts; the ocean of all sources. As you unearth the realisation that the soul cannot be overcome by life's weathering you will realise the true secret of Shishya. "Where the soul finds reconciliation, resolution, strength, clarity, sense of direction and purpose. This is where we settle all karma and find our true dharma”. "The poems are warmly spontaneous. Exploring the moment, singularly for all its intrinsic joy and celebration. One can feel the soul rising and soaring”.
