Ep 173 From Joy Luck to Backyard Birds - Amy Tan Reflects on Survival and Writing Part 1

It's going to be hard to beat this one! I had huge expectations about speaking with Amy Tan, and let me tell you, Amy gave me more than I could have even hoped for! She is the premier Asian American storyteller for a reason. She had me laughing one minute and contemplating the next. This is only Part 1, because we ended up chatting for over an hour and a half!  What a treat! I'll drop Part 2 next week. You can listen to this and all our other episodes on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.  Follow Amy over @amytanwriter and get a copy of The Backyard Bird Chronicles wherever you get your books.
