Tan has written several other novels, including The Kitchen God's Wife, The Hundred Secret Senses, The Bonesetter's Daughter, Saving Fish from Drowning, and The Valley of Amazement. This incident was the basis for Tan's first novel The Joy Luck Club.[3] In 1987, Amy traveled with Daisy to China. Amy Tan has dismissed these criticisms, claiming her works are not intended to be viewed as representative of general Chinese/Asian American experiences.[20] "The Making of Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club: Chinese magic, American blessings and a publishing fairy tale". ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-793.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-793.txt
