The Best American Short Stories by Amy Tan
In choosing the stories for the last volume of the century, guest editor Amy Tan found herself drawn to fiction that satisfied her appetite for the magic and mystery she once loved as a child, when she was addicted to fairy tales. The result is a vibrant collection in which truth and fantasy coexist in new works by writers such as Rick Bass, Annie Proulx, Lorrie Moore, Alice Munro, Junot Diaz, and Pain Houston, as well as in startlingly accomplished stories by new writers. Launch events.The Joy Luck Club, The Kitchen God's Wife, The Hundred Hidden Senses, The Bonesetter's Daughter, The Opposite of Fate: Memories of a Writing Life, Saving Fish from Drowning, and two children's books, The Moon Lady and Sagwa, which was converted into a PBS Kids play, are among Amy Tan's works. Tan also worked on the film adaptation of The Joy Luck Club as a coproducer and coscreenwriter. Her essays and short tales have appeared in a variety of publications and anthologies, and her work has been translated into 35 languages. She splits her time between San Francisco and New York with her husband.
