Amy Tan is an award-winning novelist and creative force in television, cinema and (in the fall of 2008), opera. Following the success of The Joy Luck Club, her books have enjoyed translation into dozens of languages and have garnered numerous major awards and accolades. Amy has performed as narrator with the San Francisco Symphony and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra as well as serving as lead rhythm dominitrix for the Rock Bottom Remainders (which has raised more than a million dollars for literacy programs). An amateur gizmo and gadget freak, she can sometimes be seen scooting around Sausalito on a segway with her husband Lou and their beloved Yorkie, Lilly.
