Crying in H Mart
Aos Prantos no Mercado | Michelle Zauner • 2021
Não é preciso conhecer nada de gastronomia para saber que a comida é uma das bases de nossa educação sentimental. Os ingredientes, os modos de preparo, a combinação de aromas, cores e sabores com as quais aprendemos a nos familiarizar compõem o repertório íntimo de cada um de nós. E é justamente esse poder de mobilizar o afeto que é evocado desde o primeiro parágrafo de Aos prantos no mercado. Nele, vemos a protagonista, que atravessa o luto pela morte precoce da mãe, liberando o pranto represado ao percorrer as prateleiras do mercado coreano H Mart em Nova York.
