#Japanese Breakfast’s Memoir Debuts as No. 2 Hardcover Nonfiction Best Seller

Michelle Zauner, aka Japanese Breakfast, just released her memoir Crying in H Mart. Today it debuted at No. 2 on The New York Times’ Hardcover Nonfiction Best Seller List. “NOW I’M JUST CRYING,” Zauner wrote on Twitter. The book was outsold in its category only by George W. Bush’s art book Out of Many, One. Zauner wrote: “God damn George Bush and his dumb ass paintings!!!!”

Zauner will discuss the book at a virtual talk for Harvard Book Store tonight at 7 p.m. Eastern with Alyse Whitney. “I will be very drunk and happy at this event tonight,” Zauner tweeted. 

The new Japanese Breakfast album Jubilee is out June 4 via Dead Oceans. It features “Be Sweet” and “Posing in Bondage.” She recently announced a tour.
