Solano County Library: Solano County Library Presents: A Conversation With Amy Tan

Press release from the Solano County Library:

December 21, 2021

After a couple postponements, the long-awaited Amy Tan author event is set to take place 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 20, 2022 at the Vacaville Performing Arts Theater. Originally scheduled for March 2020, the event was postponed due to the uncertain nature of whether social gatherings would be permitted or advisable.

Existing ticketholders will have an opportunity to exchange their tickets for the new date beginning January 3 to February 6 at any Solano County Library branch location. Beginning February 7, we will release available tickets to the general public. Seating is limited and a ticket is required for admittance to the event.

The special event celebrates Women’s History Month. Amy Tan, the New York Times-bestselling author of “The Joy Luck Club” will share her memoir about life as a writer in “Where the Past Begins”. Tan will appear in conversation with local Solano writer, Suzanne Bruce.

Amy Tan is the author of “The Kitchen God’s Wife,” “The Bonesetter’s Daughter,” “The Valley of Amazement” and two children’s books. She was also the co-producer and co-screenwriter of the film “The Joy Luck Club.” Her essays and stories have appeared in numerous magazines and anthologies, and her work has been translated into 35 languages. Tan is the subject of the PBS produced documentary “Amy Tan: Unintended Memoir” which premiered at Sundance in 2021 and can be streamed on Netflix.

This Women’s History Month event is supported by a generous donation from the committee for the Women’s History Luncheon under the auspices of the Solano County Library Foundation.
