This week, we delve into Michelle Zauner's Crying in H Mart, a memoir about her experience as a Korean American and navigating her mother's illness.

Topics of discussion include the difference between autobiographies and memoirs, a long tangent on American food culture, food as cultural representation, food as a marker of love, the idea of just not existing, and not ever entertaining the thought of us--the mothers--being the ones to go first.

The kids books this week are Big by Vashti Harrison and White Water by Michael S. Bandy and Eric Stein.
