        Amy Tan

        by Bella Adams, John Thieme

        This is the most comprehensive study to date of Amy Tan's work. It offers close readings of her texts in the context of broader debates about the representation of identity, history and reality. In contrast with Tan's own American-born narrators, and mainstream critics, Bella Adams's study looks beyond the stereotypes which appear in Tan's books, and explores the ways in which Chinese immigrants and their American relatives struggle to understand each others 'best qualities' via the Chinese tradition of the 'talk story'. She emphasises Tan's American narrators' process of becoming Chinese and discovering 'real China', and the significance of the ironic staging of these moments. Students will find this study both accessible and probing, and scholars will welcome its contribution to our understanding of a significant figure in contemporary literature. ;

        The pastor in print

        Genre, audience, and religious change in early modern England

        by Amy G. Tan

        The pastor in print explores the phenomenon of early modern pastors who chose to become print authors, addressing ways authorship could enhance, limit or change clerical ministry and ways pastor-authors conceived of their work in parish and print. It identifies strategies through which pastor-authors established authorial identities, targeted different sorts of audiences and strategically selected genre and content as intentional parts of their clerical vocation. The first study to provide a book-length analysis of the phenomenon of early modern pastors writing for print, it uses a case study of prolific pastor-author Richard Bernard to offer a new lens through which to view religious change in this pivotal period. By bringing together questions of print, genre, religio-politics and theology, the book will interest scholars and postgraduate students in history, literature and theological studies, and its readability will appeal to undergraduates and non-specialists.

        Tuning Alice《给爱丽丝调音》

        by Goh Joy Xine, Farmer (Tan Chao Ling)

        Whales love singing. They sing at different frequencies. There was this whale that sings at an unusually higher frequency, and cannot be heard by other whales. She has been described as the “world’s loneliest whale”. She is known as the 52-hertz whale. She is Alice. “Why can’t any other whales hear me sing?” This was Alice’s biggest challenge. Until the day she met Grandpa Ted and Arien, that told her they can help tune her to sing like other whales. Should she trust them and do it? She wasn’t sure. No harm trying, she thought. Only then will she be more certain of what matters most. Is it okay to be different? Or should we try our best to be like everyone else? Let's see, as we journey together with Alice.
