>On February 3, 2026, Back Bay Books will publish a special edition of David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest, complete with a new cover and a new foreword by Michelle Zauner of Japanese Breakfast, to celebrate the cult American novel’s 30th anniversary.

A perfect match, actually. That's sincerity, bro. If DFW was still alive, he would have given a positive blurb to Crying in H Mart.

Sounds about right. Don't know what the issue is, OP.

Yeah the barrel of a gun

She called it an incel book too. Why do asian women seek to desecrate everything that is beautiful and holy in the world?

I read the intro and yeah, it's bad. I get why they picked a nonwhite female and all but by now IJ deserves something more scholarly and not another Confessions of a Litbro-Curious essay. Entire thing reads like a defense.

>foreword
just package it with a roll of toilet paper instead

Double minority. Plus general hate of the West due to being born Eastern.

>saw the photo first then read the early life section
Truth is truly funnier than fiction. Currently checking if the article contains any other nuggets of comedy gold. So far i found:
>Zauner is bisexual.[95]
>Zauner has said that she is estranged from her father,[3] who lives in Thailand.[58]
