The Mission Creek Festival Presents Japanese Breakfast indie sensation and NYT Bestselling author Michelle Zauner, who will read from and talk about her memoir, Crying in H Mart. She will be joined in conversation by Bryn Lovitt.  Prairie Lights will have signed copies of Crying in H Mart, newly in paperback, for sale at the event. "Michelle Zauner has written a book you experience with all of your senses: sentences you can taste, paragraphs that sound like music. She seamlessly blends stories of food and memory, sumptuousness and grief, to weave a complex narrative of loyalty and loss." --Rachel Syme, New Yorker Writer
