Extractions: 'Libby-ah,' she'll say to me. 'Guess who I see yesterday, you guess.' And I don't have to guess that she's talking about someone dead." S o begins Amy Tan's third novel, The Hundred Secret Senses. Although it has flown up the best-seller lists in the month since its release, the book is a risky departure for the 43-year-old writer, with its emphasis on spirits, magical time-shifts and other unearthly phenomena. Tan spoke enthusiastically about her book, but admitted that she feared it would be ridiculed as "Chinese superstition." She sat for an interview on the balcony of her San Francisco home, where she surreptitiously lit up a cigarette. "I don't smoke in public, it's not a good image, it's not a good role model," she apologized. "Not that I actively set out to be one." With her tiny Yorkshire terrier, Babbazo, snugly ensconced in her lap, Tan, a brilliant smile often belying the frankness of her words, talked about the burdens of fame, the world of Yin, and her struggles with her own emotional demons.
LESELUST - Amy Tan - Das Tuschezeichen *** Schmöker - Lesen - Rezensionen***
Zwischen China und den USA liegt die Vergangenheit der Frauenfiguren, von denen amy tan erz¤hlt ein packender Schm¶ker, rezensiert von Daniela Ecker in der Leselust .
http://www.die-leselust.de/buch/tan_amy_tuschezeichen.htm

Extractions: Amy Tan wurde 1952 als Tochter chinesischer Auswanderer in Oakland, Kalifornien, geboren. Ihr Vater und ihr Bruder starben, als sie fünfzehn Jahre alt war. Ihre Mutter, Tochter einer wohlhabenden Familie in Shanghai, musste drei Töchter aus erster Ehe in China zurücklassen. Mittlerweile gehört Amy Tan zu den erfolgreichsten amerikanischen Schriftstellerinnen. Amy Tan lebt heute mit ihrem Mann in San Francisco und New York. Als Ruth Young in der Wohnung ihrer Mutter für Ordnung sorgen will, entdeckt sie ein Päckchen eng mit chinesischen Schriftzeichen bedeckter Blätter und erinnert sich daran, von ihr auch schon vorher einmal ein paar Seiten zum Lesen erhalten zu haben. Ruths Mutter leidet, das wird immer klarer, an immer stärkerer Vergesslichkeit, schafft es nicht mehr, ihr Leben alleine zu organisieren. Und auch wenn Ruth derzeit das Gefühl hat, ihr eigenes Leben schon nicht mehr in den Griff zu bekommen, beschließt sie doch, sich um ihre Mutter zu kümmern. Und die gefundenen Seiten übersetzen zu lassen, denn selber hat sie, was sie nun bedauert, nicht genug chinesisch gelernt, um es selbst lesen zu können.

Creative Quotations From Amy Tan (1952-____)
Quotes from amy tan to inspire your creative thinking
http://creativequotations.com/one/1256.htm

Extractions: If you can't change your fate, change your attitude. Who knows where inspiration comes from? Perhaps it arises from desperation. Perhaps it comes from the flukes of the universe, the kindness of the muses. How can you say luck and chance are the same thing? Chance is the first step you take, luck is what comes afterwards. I did not lose myself all at once. I rubbed out my face over the years washing away my pain, the same way carvings on stone are worn down by water.
