French(Français) BookPleurer au supermarché
Michelle Zauner vit à Philadelphie et jongle entre trois jobs alimentaires et un groupe de rock dont la carrière ne décolle pas quand elle apprend que sa mère est malade. Elle rentre alors dans l’Oregon pour l’accompagner dans son combat contre le cancer, et pour essayer de rattraper le temps perdu. Car Michelle a été une adolescente rebelle, ne se sentant jamais à la bonne place, et fuyant cette figure maternelle qui incarne l’exigence mais aussi la culture coréenne, si proche et si lointaine. Le souvenir des étés passés dans le pays natal de sa mère, et celui de la passion avec laquelle cette dernière cuisinait et mangeait, vont aider Michelle à surmonter son chagrin, à trouver un chemin vers l’apaisement. Michelle Zauner évoque avec une grande simplicité le deuil qu’elle a traversé, et toutes les complexités de l’amour entre une mère et sa fille. Elle consacre surtout des pages inoubliables au plaisir gastronomique pour nous rappeler que nous sommes aussi ce que nous mangeons. Un livre qui ne ressemble à aucun autre.
