2. Amy Tan - Das Tuschezeichen / The Bonesetters Daughter - LESELUST-Rezension
   Zwischen China und den USA liegt die Vergangenheit der Frauenfiguren, von denen Amy Tan erz hlt - ein packender Schm ker, rezensiert von Daniela Ecker in der Leselust .  
   http://www.die-leselust.de/buch/tan_amy_tuschezeichen.htm
   
   Extractions: Als Ruth Young in der Wohnung ihrer Mutter für Ordnung sorgen will, entdeckt sie ein Päckchen eng mit chinesischen Schriftzeichen bedeckter Blätter und erinnert sich daran, von ihr auch schon vorher einmal ein paar Seiten zum Lesen erhalten zu haben. Ruths Mutter leidet, das wird immer klarer, an immer stärkerer Vergesslichkeit, schafft es nicht mehr, ihr Leben alleine zu organisieren. Und auch wenn Ruth derzeit das Gefühl hat, ihr eigenes Leben schon nicht mehr in den Griff zu bekommen, beschließt sie doch, sich um ihre Mutter zu kümmern. Und die gefundenen Seiten übersetzen zu lassen, denn selber hat sie, was sie nun bedauert, nicht genug chinesisch gelernt, um es selbst lesen zu können. Ruths Mutter war in den Fünfzigerjahren nach Amerika gekommen, ein Jahr nach ihrer Schwester; die beiden hatten Brüder geheiratet, aber Ruths Vater war schon sehr jung gestorben. Eine schwierige Kindheit; die Mutter alleinerziehend, richtiges Englisch hat sie nie gelernt. Und dann wird sie immer wieder mit Geschichten über den Geist von Liebster Tante gequält, die auf grausige Weise Selbstmord begangen hat, was Ruths Mutter auch heute noch mit massiven Schuldgefühlen quält. Sie würde durch Ruth zu ihr sprechen, davon ist die Mutter überzeugt. Aber erst die Lektüre der Aufzeichnungen ihrer Mutter offenbaren ihr eine Geschichte, die sie sich nie hätte träumen lassen, von heimlicher Liebe, Verfluchungen, dem Willen, dem Geliebten in den Tod zu folgen, aber weiterleben zu müssen; und davon, dass Ruths Mutter erst erfährt, wer wirklich ihre Eltern sind, als es bereits zu spät ist...

For a long time, it was debilitating, hindering her ability to write, and to tour with the literary garage band, Rock Bottom Remainders , of which she is a key member, belting out rock tunes in daring costumes, alongside other American writers, such as Stephen King and Dave Barry. Nothing can keep Amy Tan down for long, though, and she has avidly sought to bring better awareness of Lyme disease, as well as supported efforts for more research, and helped found LymeAid 4 Kids

   Extractions: A man who watched me play in the park suggested that my mother allow me to play in local chess tournaments. My mother smiled graciously, an answer that meant nothing. I desperately wanted to go, but I bit back my tongue. I knew she would not let me play among strangers. So as we walked home I said in a small voice that I didn't want to play in the local tournament. They would have American rules. If I lost, I would bring shame on my family. — The Joy Luck Club Amy Tan was born on February 19, 1952 in California. She grew up surrounded by influences from both Chinese and American cultures. She has written about trying to assimilate into the mainstream, American world as a child, often at the expense of her Chinese heritage. Tan's father and brother died of brain tumors when she was fourteen years old. At this time, she also learned that her mother had been married to a different man in China and had three daughters from this marriage, a situation not unlike June's in The Joy Luck Club , her first novel.

    Extractions: BIO Amy Tan was born in Oakland, California in 1952, several years after her mother and father immigrated to the San Francisco Bay area from China. When she was eight, her essay, "What the Library Means to Me," won first prize among elementary school participants, for which Tan received a transistor radio and publication in the local newspaper. Upon the deaths of her brother and father in 1967 and 1968 from brain tumors, the family began a haphazard journey through Europe, before settling in Montreux, Switzerland, where Tan graduated in her junior year in 1969. For the next seven years, Tan attended five schools. She first went to Linfield College in McMinnville, Oregon, and there, on a blind date, met her future husband, Lou DeMattei. She followed him to San Jose, where she enrolled at San Jose City College. She next attended San Jose State University, and, while working two part-time jobs, became an English honor's student and a President's Scholar. In 1972, Tan graduated with honors, receiving a B.A. with a double major in English and Linguistics. She was awarded a scholarship to attend the Summer Linguistics Institute at the University of California, Santa Cruz. In 1973, she earned her M.A. in Linguistics, also from San Jose State University, and then was awarded a Graduate Minority Fellowship under the affirmative action program at the University of California, Berkeley, where she enrolled as a doctoral student in linguistics.

    Extractions: 'Libby-ah,' she'll say to me. 'Guess who I see yesterday, you guess.' And I don't have to guess that she's talking about someone dead." S o begins Amy Tan's third novel, The Hundred Secret Senses. Although it has flown up the best-seller lists in the month since its release, the book is a risky departure for the 43-year-old writer, with its emphasis on spirits, magical time-shifts and other unearthly phenomena. Tan spoke enthusiastically about her book, but admitted that she feared it would be ridiculed as "Chinese superstition." She sat for an interview on the balcony of her San Francisco home, where she surreptitiously lit up a cigarette. "I don't smoke in public, it's not a good image, it's not a good role model," she apologized. "Not that I actively set out to be one." With her tiny Yorkshire terrier, Babbazo, snugly ensconced in her lap, Tan, a brilliant smile often belying the frankness of her words, talked about the burdens of fame, the world of Yin, and her struggles with her own emotional demons.
