   Extractions: b. 1952 A man who watched me play in the park suggested that my mother allow me to play in local chess tournaments. My mother smiled graciously, an answer that meant nothing. I desperately wanted to go, but I bit back my tongue. I knew she would not let me play among strangers. So as we walked home I said in a small voice that I didn't want to play in the local tournament. They would have American rules. If I lost, I would bring shame on my family. The Joy Luck Club Jump to: Biography and Criticism Selected Bibliography Non-English Materials Related Links Amy Tan was born on February 19, 1952 in California. She grew up surrounded by influences from both Chinese and American cultures. She has written about trying to assimilate into the mainstream, American world as a child, often at the expense of her Chinese heritage. Tan's father and brother died of brain tumors when she was fourteen years old. At this time, she also learned that her mother had been married to a different man in China and had three daughters from this marriage, a situation not unlike June's in The Joy Luck Club , her first novel.

   Extractions: Amy Tan Amy Tan's novels explore familial relationships against a background of cultural and generational differences and conflicts. Tan once remarked that although she was originally ambivalent about her ethnicity and tried to distance herself from it, writing The Joy Luck Club helped her discover "how very Chinese I was. And how much had stayed with me that I had tried to deny." The book uses the traditional Chinese "talk story" to explore the lives of four Chinese immigrant mothers, their four American-born daughters, and the impact past generations have had on their relationships. A mother-daughter relationship is also the theme of her second book, The Kitchen God's Wife. It begins with an American-born daughter's reluctant visit to her mother's home in Chinatown and ends with revelations that surprise them both. In her third novel, The Hundred Secret Senses, Tan explores sisterhood and what it means to be a family. As the late Michael Dorris said in the Chicago Tribune, "Tan's characters, regardless of their cultural orientation or age, speak with authority and authenticity. The details of their lives, unfamiliar to most American readers, are rendered with such conviction that almost immediately their rules seem to become the adages and admonitions with which we ourselves grew up."

Influenced by the style of American author Louise Erdrich , Tan’s work has become emblematic of other American works of fiction that give particular attention to ethnicity, family history, and the articulation of female voices. Born in Oakland , California, to parents who immigrated to the United States from China , Tan was educated at San Jose State University and the University of California at Berkeley. She worked as a consultant to programs for disabled children from 1976 to 1981 and as a reporter, editor, and freelance technical writer from 1981 to 1987.

   Extractions: Home About Books Authors ... Recipe About The Author - Amy Tan Amy Tan was born in Oakland, California on February 19, 1952. Her family lived in several communities in Northern California before settling in Santa Clara. Both of her parents were Chinese immigrants. Her father, John Tan, was an electrical engineer and Baptist minister who came to America to escape the turmoil of the Chinese Civil War. The harrowing early life of her mother, Daisy, inspired Amy Tan's novel The Kitchen God's Wife. In China, Daisy had divorced an abusive husband but lost custody of her three daughters. She was forced to leave them behind when she escaped on the last boat to leave Shanghai before the Communist takeover in 1949. Her marriage to John Tan produced three children, Amy and her two brothers. Tragedy struck the Tan family when Amy's father and oldest brother both died of brain tumors within a year of each other. Mrs. Tan moved her surviving children to Switzerland, where Amy finished high school, but by this time mother and daughter were in constant conflict. Mother and daughter did not speak for six months after Amy Tan left the Baptist college her mother had selected for her to follow her boyfriend to San Jose City College. Tan further defied her mother by abandoning the pre-med course her mother had urged to pursue the study of English and linguistics. She received hr Bachelor's and master's degrees in these fields at San Jose State University. In 1974, she and her boyfriend, Louis DeMattei were married. They were later to settle in San Francisco.
