A Poignant Reflection

Wanna know what makes Amy Tan tick? This is the book for you. Crazily gifted, she shares the complex story of herself, her mom, dad, brothers and grandmother, and how those puzzle pieces meshed to make the writer we think we know. Tragedy, angst and eccentricity abound. Somewhat stream-of-conscienceness-esque, you have to be willing to float along through parts of it, but I think that's how her mind actually works, and it's a fascinating thing to see.

One thing's for sure, I feel like an idiot after learning all the stuff she can do, and has done.
