Biographie d'Amy Tan
Amy Tan was born in Oakland, California in 1952, two and a half years after her parents emigrated to the US. Though her parents hoped she would become a neurosurgeon by trade and a concert pianist by hobby, instead she became an administrator of programmes for disabled children and later a reporter and editor. She visited China for the first time in 1987 and found it was just how her mother had said: As soon as my feet touched the China, I became Chinese.
Amy Tan lives in San Francisco with her husband. The Joy Luck Club is her first novel.
