SUMMARY:Slowing Down with Amy Tan
DESCRIPTION:National Humanities Medal winner and bestselling author of The Joy Luck Club\, Amy Tan joins us to share on her body of work and reflect on the wonder of slowing down and savoring the quiet moments. Her connection to nature is captured in her latest\, The Backyard Bird Chronicles\, a collection of sketches and essays which debuted at #1 on both the New York Times and the Indie bestseller list. \nBorn in the U.S. to immigrant parents from China\, Tan’s first bestselling novel\, The Joy Luck Club\, offered a look at the immigration experience from the perspective of mothers and daughters. Other New York Times best-sellers followed\, including The Kitchen God’s Wife\, The Hundred Secret Senses\, The Bonesetter’s Daughter\, Saving Fish from Drowning\, and The Valley of Amazement. Tan is also the author of two children’s books\, a memoir\, and other works. In keeping with her love of science and childhood love of doodling\, she recently took up nature journal sketching. When she found herself overwhelmed by our increasingly divisive culture\, she turned to nature and the world of bird life outside her own window. \nRegister\nIf you can’t make it to the live event\, go ahead and register anyway; a recording will be sent to you for a limited time. \nThis event is made possible by Illinois Libraries Present (ILP)\, a statewide collaboration among public libraries offering premier events. ILP is funded in part by a grant awarded by the Illinois State Library\, a department of the Office of Secretary of State\, using funds provided by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services\, under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA).  \nILP is committed to inclusion and accessibility.
