In conversation with Laura Kovacs, associate director, author events
“Powerful” and “full of magic” (Los Angeles Times), Amy Tan is the author of the beloved novels The Joy Luck Club, a finalist for the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award and for which she also co-wrote the film adaptation screenplay; The Kitchen God's Wife; The Hundred Secret Senses; and The Valley of Amazement, a decades- and continents-spanning story of three generations of women. In addition to several other novels and works of nonfiction, she is the author of two children’s books, and her essays and stories have appeared in scores of periodicals and anthologies. Where the Past Begins is a memoir of Tan’s life, art, and deeply personal inspirations that frame her fiction.
This interview is giving me chills.
By far, one of my favorite books, cant even say if its non- fiction or fiction. I am very cynical but I must believe how organic the roots of this story evolved from. The way she regales these tales...no one else could do it better...or even come close.
My other favorite at one time was Memoirs of a Geisha however one could say Im over it.
But that's never the case with Amy Tan. I especially like the way she describes different generations of women...as most have a love/hate relationships with their maternal relatives. Fascinating!
Cheers to Brilliance!
Onward and Upward, Bambi
Maybe Bambi will someday show up upstream....? All of our Venues. She is a Mini-Kitchen, a roving Studio, even Housing in a Pinch.
I love her humility with regard to writing.
Keep movin and yet please listen as she and her Mum has since commanded....
Have since commanded...
This is just boring. I need to get me a life other than this. Grand assumptions, pretend talk, etc. But good enough.
You need to dig deep and get to your own particular childhood, teen, early adulthood traumas
