Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club
Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club | Amy Tan, John Henriksen
4 posts | 5 read | 1 to read
From English classes to book clubs, Amy Tan's bestseller The Joy Luck Club has become a staple of contemporary American fiction. Its heartrending and powerful stories speak volumes about the trials both of the immigrant experience in America and of mother-daughter relationships in any family. The Companion takes you inside this favorite: What are the Joy Luck Club daughters expected to do with the stories their mothers tell them? How autobiographical is Tan's novel? Which daughter did she base on herself? What role does the past play in the lives of immigrants and their children?

PurpleTulipGirl I finished in December 2001, but we didn‘t have a winter commencement then, so I walked in May 2002. She talked about the struggle of keeping up with the reading when she was an undergrad English major, and occasionally buying Cliffs Notes for stuff. She joked that she knew she made it as an author when “Joy Luck Club” got Cliffs Notes. 4y
EadieB @PurpleTulipGirl Interesting! I was looking at some of your posts. Your knitting is gorgeous! 4y
PurpleTulipGirl Thanks! 4y
