Celebrate the contemporary works of Asian Americans with Hyphenated, a year-around book club series hosted by the AARC. In honor of APAHM, we will be joined by Gan Bei Gals, who will lead discussion on Michelle Zauner’s New York times best seller, Crying in H Mart and a cooking class inspired by the book. Space is limited. Book is not supplied. “Michelle Zauner's Crying in H Mart is as good as everyone says it is and, yes, it will have you in tears. The memoir, an expansion of Zauner's viral New Yorker essay, dives deep into the musician's experience losing her mother to cancer and how it shaped her identity. Filled with odes to her Korean heritage, the book has left many readers grappling with their own complex familial food memories.” - Marie Claire (2021) About the Asian American Resource Center The Asian American Resource Center’s mission is to create a space of belonging and healing for Asian American communities in Austin and beyond.
