Amy Tan
Amy Tan — one title in the rankings.
Editor’s note American novelist whose debut, The Joy Luck Club (1989), became a landmark of Chinese American fiction and a 1993 film. In San Francisco, four women who emigrated from China meet weekly to play mahjong as the Joy Luck Club, and sixteen interlinked stories move between their harrowing pasts in China and their American-born daughters, who struggle to understand mothers whose language and expectations they only half share. Moving and funny about love, misunderstanding and inheritance. Tan also wrote The Kitchen God’s Wife and The Bonesetter’s Daughter.
