An analysis of the book the joy luck club
Chinese Culture
The Joy Luck Club, was published in early spring in 1989
by G. P. Putnam's Sons and presents a story of four
Chinese women and their American-born daughters. The Joy
Luck Club was a critical and a popular success. Over
2,100,000 copies were sold, Tan received $1.32 million
for the paperback rights, and it has been translated
into eighteen languages--including Chinese
SETTING
Even though The Joy Luck Club takes
place primarily in Chinatown San Francisco in the United
States, much of the novel occurs in flashbacks, set in
China. The serene beauty of this Eastern country, marred
by the violence of war, is evoked in the tale of Suyuan
and her daughters. During the course of the flashbacks,
the cities of Hong Kong and Shanghai, and the
surrounding districts and towns, like Kweilin and
Taiyuan, are portrayed in detail.
The Joy Luck Club, for which the book is named, is
located in modern day Chinatown, where four Chinese
mothers have made lives for themselves after leaving
their native countries years earlier. A miniature of the
old country has been recreated in San Franciscos
Chinatown, where most of the immigrants live in the
city. Their houses are replicas of homes in the
motherland and are adorned with traditional Chinese
furniture and decorations. Within Chinatown, the older
inhabitants continue to follow their native customs and
celebrate their important festivals.
They also gather often to enjoy each other and to eat
Chinese delicacies. Although many of the younger
generation Chinese descendants still live in Chinatown,
they are very different from the older generation of
immigrants. They have largely adopted the American way
of life.
The novel includes anecdotes and stories from three
generations of women, spanning a period of time that is
seventy years ending in the 80's, when the book was
published. The novel closes with a visit to China in the
present day. This ending unifies the geographical and
historical settings of the novel in a most fulfilling
way.
All the Chinese women has her own outlook of the world
based on her past experiences in China and wants to
share that vision with their daughters'. The daughters
understand their mothers' pasts, and try to adapt to the
American lifestyle, and win their mothers' acceptance.
The book's name, "the joy luck club", was inspired by
Suyuan Woo. The club continued in the United states in
order to lift her friends spirits from the Japanese
invasion Pearl Harbor going on at the time. hoping to
bring luck and joy to her friends and family and finding
joy in that hope.
Amy Tan the writer of The Joy Luck Club composed the
book in order to understand her relationship with her
mother. Her parents wanted Americanized children but
demanded them to think and act like Chinese. Amy found
this very difficult as a young child. Not only was there
a generation gap, but also a cultural distinctions added
another dimension. Thus, Tan wrote the joy luck club not
only to help her sort out her cultural heritage but to
learn how she and her mother could get along good luck
chuck.
