 tenderness of her writing has made her a global literary icon.\n\nTan’s

 Secret Senses, The Bonesetter’s Daughter, Saving Fish from Drowning, and 
 The Valley of Amazement, all New York Times bestsellers. She is also the 
 author of a memoir, a book about writing, two children’s books, and 
 numerous articles and short stories. \n\nHer work has been nominated for 
 the National Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the 
 International Orange Prize, and she has won many awards including the 
 Commonwealth Gold Award and the F. Scott Fitzgerald Award for Achievement 
 in American Literature. Her essays and stories are found in hundreds of 
 anthologies and textbooks. Her work has been translated into 35 
 languages.\n\nShe is also the subject of the recent documentary Amy Tan: 
 Unintended Memoir, which debuted at Sundance in January 2021 and aired as 
 part of PBS’s American Masters series.\n
