Wow. She's writing about her own experiences and family background, at least it influences her writing. She's never claimed to be any sort of voice for any group of people. If I write a story about a white girl would that make me a voice of white women? No, I would just be a writer talking about something I have some experience with. That is part of the reason Tan is such a great writer, she just writes about what she wants to write about, without making any grandiose claims.

God, thank you for making her ugly. Sometimes, life is fair. She can preach her hatred of Asian men since it's a freedom, but I hope she dies a miserable death.
@Revengeancer I think people are crueler in their cars and behind their computers than in person. I think because they feel safer. And its unfortunate that so many people are cruel enough to enjoy hurting others... racism, sexism, homophobia... and its pretty common on this site.
you heard these thoughts from somewhere else and repeated them. so your mind is a commodity, for rent by the highest bidder. unfortunately, you are not alone.
Jenbecht is an idiot. Tan's voice is not a representative voice of all Asians, just as Toni Morrison doesn't represent all blacks. Sure, she had a hard life; her father and brother both died of brain tumors when she was a child. She had a domineering mother. Has she ever professed to be THE voice of Asian America? NO. Get a little heterogeneity into your life. SERIOUSLY.
She had a hard life. Who doesnt have a hard life? She is a hypocrite. She wrote stories, stereotyping about her own kind. Yet she complains that she had a tough life. She destroys so many people lives by stereotyping others by promoting hatre toward asians. Disgusting woman
she called herself "asian" american. She had eyelid surgeries because she hates to have slanted eyes. Yet she makes money writing stories about Chinese people. She hates her heritage and her china girl features. Yet she is sterotyping her own race to make her living. What an ugly soul!!!
you are stereotyping her. not all asians get eye surgeries bc of hatred. you don't even know her. i would rather read the stories she writes about chinese ppl than someone like you.
she is a great writer especially in the joy luck club
