Publisher's Weekly. Happy Birthday or Whatever Track Suits Kim Chee and Other Family Disasters: A Memoir of Growing Up Korean-American As I open the pages of Happy Birthday or Whatever Track Suits Kim Chee and Other Family Disasters, I am immediately drawn into the world of Annie Choi, a first-generation Korean-American woman growing up in Los Angeles with her quintessentially Korean mother and thoroughly Americanized father. The book is a hilarious and poignant memoir that explores the complex and often frustrating relationship between mothers and daughters, and the challenges of navigating two cultures at once. The story begins with Annie's childhood, where she struggles to balance her mother's traditional Korean values with her own desire for independence and an all-American lifestyle. Her mother, a fierce and determined woman, constantly nags her about getting good grades, attending an Ivy League university, and finding a "good" Korean husband. Meanwhile, her father, a laid-back and easygoing man, encourages Annie to pursue her passions and be true to herself. This clash of values and expectations creates a series of indelible and often riotously funny scenes that are both heartbreaking and relatable. One of the most striking aspects of the book is the way in which Choi mines the age-old tensions between mothers and daughters.
Еженедельник издателя. Happy Birthday or Whatever Track Suites Kim Chee and Other Family Disaster: Мемуары о взрослении корейско-американского происхождения Когда я открываю страницы Happy Birthday or Whatever Track Suites Kim Chee and Other Family Disaster, меня сразу же затягивает в мир Энни Чой, корейско-американской женщины первого поколения, растущей в Лос-Анджелесе со своей типично корейской матерью и тщательно американизированным отцом. Книга представляет собой весёлые и пронзительные мемуары, в которых исследуются сложные и часто разочаровывающие отношения между матерями и дочерьми, а также проблемы навигации по двум культурам сразу. История начинается с детства Энни, где она изо всех сил пытается уравновесить традиционные корейские ценности своей матери с её собственным стремлением к независимости и всеамериканскому образу жизни. Её мать, яростная и решительная женщина, постоянно ворчит ей о получении хороших оценок, посещении университета Лиги плюща и поиске «хорошего» корейского мужа. Тем временем её отец, непринуждённый и легкомысленный мужчина, призывает Энни преследовать свои страсти и быть верной себе. Это столкновение ценностей и ожиданий создает ряд неизгладимых и часто разгульно смешных сцен, которые одновременно душераздирающие и родственные. Одним из самых ярких аспектов книги является то, как Чхве минирует вековые трения между матерями и дочерьми.
Hebdomadaire de l'éditeur. Happy Birthday or Whatever Track Suites Kim Chee and Other Family Disaster : Mémoires sur la croissance d'origine coréenne-américaine Quand j'ouvre les pages Happy Birthday or Whatever Track Suites Kim Chee and Other Family Disaster, je suis immédiatement emmenée dans le monde par Annie Choi, une femme coréo-américaine de première génération qui grandit à Angeles avec sa mère typiquement coréenne et son père méticuleusement américanisé. livre est un mémoire amusant et poignant qui explore les relations complexes et souvent frustrantes entre les mères et les filles, ainsi que les problèmes de navigation dans deux cultures à la fois. L'histoire commence par l'enfance d'Annie, où elle a du mal à équilibrer les valeurs coréennes traditionnelles de sa mère avec son propre désir d'indépendance et de mode de vie américain. Sa mère, une femme furieuse et déterminée, ne cesse de la grincer d'avoir de bonnes notes, de fréquenter l'université de l'Ivy ague et de chercher un « bon » mari coréen. Pendant ce temps, son père, un homme décontracté et futile, appelle Annie à poursuivre ses passions et à être fidèle à elle-même. Cette confrontation de valeurs et d'attentes crée un certain nombre de scènes indélébiles et souvent drôles, à la fois déchirantes et apparentées. L'un des aspects les plus frappants du livre est la façon dont Choi mine les frictions séculaires entre les mères et les filles.

Die Wochenzeitung des Verlegers. Happy Birthday oder Whatever Track Suites Kim Chee and Other Family Disaster: Memoiren über das Aufwachsen koreanisch-amerikanischer Abstammung Wenn ich die Seiten Happy Birthday oder Whatever Track Suites Kim Chee and Other Family Disaster öffne, bin ich sofort zieht Annie Choi, eine koreanisch-amerikanische Frau der ersten Generation, die in Angeles mit ihrer typisch koreanischen Mutter und ihrem sorgfältig amerikanisierten Vater aufwächst, in die Welt. Das Buch ist ein lustiges und ergreifendes Memoiren, das die komplexen und oft frustrierenden Beziehungen zwischen Müttern und Töchtern sowie die Herausforderungen der Navigation durch zwei Kulturen gleichzeitig untersucht. Die Geschichte beginnt in der Kindheit von Annie, wo sie darum kämpft, die traditionellen koreanischen Werte ihrer Mutter mit ihrem eigenen Streben nach Unabhängigkeit und dem All-American Way of Life in Einklang zu bringen. Ihre Mutter, eine wütende und entschlossene Frau, murrt ständig darüber, gute Noten zu bekommen, die Ivy ague Universität zu besuchen und einen „guten“ koreanischen Ehemann zu finden. In der Zwischenzeit ermutigt ihr Vater, ein lässiger und frivoler Mann, Annie, ihren idenschaften nachzugehen und sich selbst treu zu bleiben. Dieser Zusammenstoß von Werten und Erwartungen schafft eine Reihe von unauslöschlichen und oft wild komischen Szenen, die sowohl herzzerreißend als auch verwandt sind. Einer der auffälligsten Aspekte des Buches ist, wie Choi die jahrhundertealten Reibungen zwischen Müttern und Töchtern überwindet.

Yayıncının Haftalık. Happy Birthday or Whatever Track Suites Kim Chee and Other Family Disaster hakkında önemli bilgiler Happy Birthday veya Whatever Track Suites Kim Chee ve Diğer Aile Afet Sayfalarını Açtığımda Koreli-Amerikalı Büyümek Hakkında Bir Anı, Me Hemen Angeles'ta tipik Koreli annesi ve dikkatli bir şekilde Amerikanlaşmış babasıyla birlikte büyüyen birinci nesil Koreli-Amerikalı bir kadın olan Annie Choi'yi çekiyor. Kitap, anneler ve kızları arasındaki karmaşık ve çoğu zaman sinir bozucu ilişkiyi ve aynı anda iki kültürde gezinmenin zorluklarını araştıran eğlenceli ve dokunaklı bir anı. Hikaye, Annie'nin çocukluğuyla başlıyor, annesinin geleneksel Kore değerlerini kendi bağımsızlık arzusu ve tüm Amerikan yaşam tarzıyla dengelemek için mücadele ediyor. Şiddetli ve kararlı bir kadın olan annesi, sürekli olarak iyi notlar almak, bir Ivy ague üniversitesine katılmak ve'iyi'bir Koreli koca bulmak için ona homurdanıyor. Bu arada, rahat ve anlamsız bir adam olan babası, Annie'yi tutkularını sürdürmeye ve kendine sadık olmaya çağırıyor. Bu değerler ve beklentiler çatışması, hem kalp kırıcı hem de ilişkilendirilebilir olan bir dizi silinmez ve çoğu zaman komik komik sahneler yaratır. Kitabın en çarpıcı yönlerinden biri, Choi'nin anneler ve kızları arasındaki asırlık sürtünmeyi mayınlama şeklidir.
مجلة الناشر الأسبوعية. عيد ميلاد سعيد أو أيًا كانت أجنحة المسار كيم تشي وكارثة عائلية أخرى: مذكرات حول النمو الكوري الأمريكي عندما أفتح عيد ميلاد سعيد أو أي أجنحة تتبع كيم تشي وصفحات كارثة عائلية أخرى، أجذب على الفور آني تشوي، وهي امرأة كورية أمريكية من الجيل الأول نشأت في لوس أنجلوس مع والدتها الكورية النموذجية ووالدها الأمريكي بعناية، إلى العالم. الكتاب عبارة عن مذكرات ممتعة ومؤثرة تستكشف العلاقة المعقدة والمحبطة في كثير من الأحيان بين الأمهات والبنات، فضلاً عن تحديات التنقل في ثقافتين في وقت واحد. تبدأ القصة بطفولة آني، حيث تكافح من أجل تحقيق التوازن بين القيم الكورية التقليدية لوالدتها ورغبتها في الاستقلال وأسلوب حياة أمريكي بالكامل. والدتها، وهي امرأة شرسة وحازمة، تتذمر باستمرار من الحصول على درجات جيدة، والالتحاق بجامعة Ivy ague وإيجاد زوج كوري «جيد». في هذه الأثناء، يحث والدها، وهو رجل مسترخي وتافه، آني على متابعة شغفها وأن تكون صادقة مع نفسها. يخلق هذا الصدام بين القيم والتوقعات سلسلة من المشاهد التي لا تمحى والمضحكة في كثير من الأحيان والتي تكون مفجعة ومرتبطة. أحد أكثر جوانب الكتاب لفتًا للنظر هو الطريقة التي يزيل بها تشوي الاحتكاك القديم بين الأمهات والبنات.
