Amy Tan's Autobiography

Amy Tan's autobiography is now available, The Opposite of Fate. A recent article about Amy and her new book states,

At the age of 16, Amy Tan thought she was going to be murdered—by her own mother. In her new book, The Opposite of Fate, Tan describes what happened after a ferocious argument with her over Tan's new boyfriend. "[My mother] slammed the door shut, latched it, then locked it with a key. I saw the flash of a meat cleaver just before she pushed me to the wall and brought the blade's edge to within an inch of my throat. Her eyes were like a wild animal's, shiny, fixated on the kill. . . She pressed the blade closer and I could feel her breath gusting."
