NOVELIST AMY TAN WILL SPEAK AT BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY October 6, 2005 Bestselling author Amy Tan will read from her new novel, Saving Fish from Drowning, at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 20, 2005 at the Rabb Lecture Hall, at the Boston Public Library in Copley Square. Saving Fish from Drowning is a provocative new novel from the popular author of The Joy Luck Club and The Bonesetter's Daughter. The story, based on actual events, begins when eleven Americans embark on an ill-fated art expedition into Burma. Through twists of fate, curses, and just plain human error, they find themselves deep in the jungle, where they encounter a tribe that will protect them from the Myanmar military regime. The author weaves in elements of magician's tricks and light comedy, while telling a gripping morality tale about the consequences of intentions-both good and bad. Barnes & Noble, co-sponsors of the program, will sell books and Ms. Tan will sign them following the reading.
