Tan, Amy Tan, Amy (1952- ), American author, whose novels depict the tensions between mothers and daughters as well as the relationship between Chinese-American women and their immigrant parents. Born in Oakland, California, to parents who migrated 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 programmes for disabled children from 1976 to 1981 and as a reporter, editor, and freelance technical writer from 1981 to 1987. Tan's first novel, The Joy Luck Club (1989), examines the relationships between four Chinese-born women and their American-born daughters. Narrated in 16 stories, in a style influenced by the multiple-narrator method of American writer Louise Erdrich, the book alternates the voices of the mothers with those of the daughters. The mothers' stories, tinged with ghosts and superstitions, describe the women's struggles in China against traditional female roles and family domination. The daughters' tales are those of young professional women in the United States who strive for equality in their personal relationships and careers. The novel portrays the Chinese mothers' difficulties in sharing their wisdom and experiences with their American daughters.

ABOUT US ARCHIVES LINKS RSS ... MONDAY COLUMNS An Eclectic Digest of Science, Art and Literature Main October 15, 2005 'Saving Fish From Drowning': Bus of Fools From The New York Times: Amy Tan is among our great storytellers. In each of her previous novels, she has seduced readers with the intimate magic of her tale. In "The Joy Luck Club" and "The Bonesetter's Daughter," she enthralled us with the painful complexity of human relationships, especially between mothers and daughters. Obscure parts of history became as immediate as the reader's own experience; she made us breathe the air of other times and places. Her newest novel, "Saving Fish From Drowning," half spoof and half fairy tale, is narrated by Bibi Chen, a San Francisco socialite and art dealer who was supposed to lead a group of high-powered friends on a trip down the Burma Road, starting in Lijiang in China and continuing across the border into Myanmar, appreciating cultural sites and natural beauty along the way. Bibi Chen has died under mysterious circumstances, but the group goes off on the trip anyway, and Bibi goes along as a spirit, invisible to the travelers, only sporadically able to influence what is going on, but very much involved with - and frequently rather annoyed by - her friends and their choices. A quirky narrator, alternately omniscient and helpless, she is enthusiastic, colorful and spirited, but also self-important, snobbish and didactic. More here.
