An interesting memoir. It is very detached, like reading a collection of short stories rather than the usual memoir.
The book is a series of essays/stories throughout her life and about her life and writing. Although the book is extremely well written and has some interesting thoughts in it, I find Amy Tan a little full of herself and pretty pretentious when expressing her views on various subjects. There are also...
I actually found this easier to read and more enjoyable than her novels, which are good but sometimes drag a bit.
Amy Tan has a wonderfully readable writing style and sense of humor that makes reading her writing fun, although some of the subjects are very heavy.
