The multi-talented musician and author does a reading from Boise’s newest park.

While Michelle Zauner may be known as the indie rockstar behind the solo musical act Japanese Breakfast, the musician is proving to be a talented writer, as well, through her book, Crying in H-Mart. The book has been called an unflinching, powerful memoir about growing up Korean American, losing her mother, and forging her own identity. It’s a story of family, food, grief, and endurance. Zauner took time out to share passages from her book during Storyfort at Boise’s newest park, Cherie Buckner-Webb Park. The park is named after Idaho’s first Black woman elected to the Idaho Legislature.
