Michelle Zauner of Japanese Breakfast Announces New Memoir

Michelle Zauner, the creative force behind Japanese Breakfast, is back in the literary spotlight with the announcement of her second memoir, Thank You For Your Suffering, set to release on April 27, 2026.

Zauner first captured hearts with her acclaimed memoir, Crying In H Mart, which explored her connection to Korean culture and food following the loss of her mother. This time, she delves into her transformative year spent in Seoul, where she immersed herself in family and language to better understand her mother’s legacy.

In a recent interview with Elle, Zauner shared insights on the book’s title, revealing that the Korean phrase “Gosaeng haesseoyo” translates to “you suffered,” a phrase she encountered during a visit to a hair salon. This new memoir promises a lighter tone, filled with joy and humor, contrasting the raw emotion of her first book.

As Zauner prepares for motherhood herself, she reflects on the happiness that writing this new chapter has brought her. Fans of her music and writing alike can look forward to this exciting new release!
