Just finished rereading this book, and found it to be as enjoyable as ever. My favorite Amy Tan is still The Kitchen God's Wife, though; the audiobook version read by the author is amazing, and probably responsible for the beginnings of my ventures into Sinophilia. Joy Luck Club feels somewhat less polished and, of course, jumps around rather a lot more, but the stories are compelling. Being a historical fiction buff, I am always more interested in Tan's mothers than daughters, and that holds true for Joy Luck Club as well.

I really loved this book, and I thought the writing was great (even if it did make me want to eat chocolate every second!).

وقتی با اشخاص به صورت گناهکار رفتار کنیم ، پس از لحظه ای ، واقعا آنها خود را گناهکار احساس خواهند کرد .

gaitskill's language is mesmerizing -- the structure of the novel began to wear thin for me after a while, but the language carried it through. she has such startling, surprising descriptions that made me start looking at the world in another way.
