The Joy of Amy Tan
I've never read a novel that's inspired such emotion as Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club has. Tan has created some of the most gorgeous characters I've ever been introduced to, and the way she writes allows every reader to have a vivid image of the places she describes. Every little detail fuels more and more imagination. Not only is the book a MUST READ but Amy Tan is definitely one of the greatest authors I've ever read from.

"This anthology is like one of those fateful 20-something nights where you met a boyfriend, a best friend and got a lead on a job. It introduced me to Jim Shepard and Donald Batheleme. I often think of Amy Tan’s introduction of Molly Giles’ story, Pie Dance. Tan writes that upon hearing Giles read the story, she felt she didn’t yet have what it took to be a writer but she “also knew — as deeply as you can know something about yourself — that it would be worth a lifetime to try.” That’s one of the most genuine things I’ve ever heard a writer say about another writer."
