About the Author:
Born in the United States to immigrant parents from China, Amy Tan confesses that she "failed her mother's expectations that she become a doctor and concert pianist." Instead, she settled on writing fiction. The result is five New York TimeS best-selling novels, including the celebrated The Joy Luck Club.
Lan Dong is assistant professor at the University of Illinois at Springfield, IL.
