Torch Wildfire Reading Series: Kelis Rowe

I can’t describe the effervescent joy that crept inside my spirit when I visited my first H Mart in Dallas. It was a seminal experience on my road to becoming a bona fide K-pop girlie. Japanese Breakfast frontwoman Michelle Zauner’s experience in the aisles of the most unhinged yet satisfyingly over-the-top grocery shopping extravaganza – I’m talking everything from produce to kitchen appliances, face masks, all manner of snacks, and a whole-ass food court – is an incredibly poignant look into the oftentimes contemptuous relationship dynamics between a mother and daughter, something that so many of us as mother’s daughters can relate to. Written with veritas and staggering vulnerability, Crying in H Mart is as much an emotional hurricane as the megastore it’s named after. – Cy White
