Amy Tan
I’ve been here for Amy Tan since I read The Joy Luck Club just after it came out in 1993. I’ve read everything since (so has my mom, because she’s cool that way), except her latest. The Valley of Amazement is on my list.
Ms. Tan started her Twitter account in 2010, but mostly used it to bump her FB. In the last few years, she’s really taken to tweeting, though. She’s especially here for the Democrats, as you can probably tell from her profile picture (That’s her husband on the right side of the H, in case you were wondering). Politics does take up most of her feed lately, like most of us.
She also likes to talk about health issues like Lyme disease, and she tweets lots of adorable pictures of her teacup terrier, Bobo. Amy is also into jazz, and apparently loves attending concerts. It helps distract her from tRump, as she likes to call him.
Amy Tan lives in San Francisco, and went to the Women’s March there. Looking back at tweets like her photos from the Women’s March make me tear up again.
Here she is showing support for her writing sisters:
Raves from @JoyceCarolOates and me for @sheilakohler 's new memoir "Once We Were Sisters." Evocative, lush, a clear-eyed memory of murder. pic.twitter.com/ZfipVutT1r
