The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan
Jeff and Rebecca pick up Amy Tan’s multigenerational novel-in-stories about mothers and daughters, memory and silence, the immigrant experience, and the complexity of the American dream. They talk through what made it groundbreaking in 1989, why it still resonates today, and how a book often dismissed as “book club fiction” turns out to be doing something much more radical.
