Amy Tan: 2020 National Book Festival

Amy Tan began her career with her groundbreaking novel about Chinese-American families, “The Joy Luck Club.” Its phenomenal success was followed by her equally successful novels, “The Kitchen God’s Wife” and “The Bonesetter’s Daughter.” In her new memoir, "Where the Past Begins: Memory and Imagination" (Ecco), she talks about how memory and ancestral history have guided her in her lifelong work as a novelist.
