B

Amy Tan , the American-born daughter of Chinese immigrants , received the Commonwealth Club Gold Award in 1989 for her first work of fiction , the best selling Joy Luck Club . The sixteen stories that make up the work alternate(交替)the tales of four Chinese immigrant mothers and their Americanized daughters , in an exploration of the generational and cultural tensions (紧张关系)experienced by many first-generation daughters of immigrants .

Tan’s parents , like many immigrants , had high expectations for their children and often set puzzling standards , expecting Amy and her two brothers to think like Chinese but to speak perfect English , be excellent at school work , and take advantage of every situation that might lead to success . Tan , however , rebelled (反叛)against her parents’ expectations and devoted herself to being thoroughly American and dreaming of being a fiction writer .

Tan got a bachelor’s degree in English and linguistics(语言学)and a master’s degree in linguistics and established herself as a highly successful business writer . Tan , however , was not satisfied in spite of her material success . Turning to her life long dream , she wrote her first short story , “ Endgame,” and then a second , “Waiting between the trees .” In 1987 Tan visited her half-sisters in China with her mother , a trip that proved to be a turning point in her life and career . Tan felt a sense of completeness , a tie with the country and its culture that she had never expected . Returning from China , Tan was surprised to learn that on the strength of her short stories she had received an advance from a publisher . Tan closed her business and wrote the remaining stories for the Joy Luck Club . It was a great success , well received by the public and appearing on the New York Times bestseller list . It has been translated into seventeen languages , including Chinese , and was made into a movie in 1993 .
