Novelist Amy Tan is roasted in good fun by her literary peers as she accepts the third annual Litquake Barbary Coast award. Ben Fong-Torres is a roaster and the Master of Ceremonies.
It was an elegant setting indeed. The Herbst Theatre, part of the San Francisco War Memorial & Performing Arts Center has large chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, walls handpainted with frescos, and moulding accented in shimmering gold.
It was a great place for Amy Tan's friends to have fun roasting her before she was presented with her Barbary Coast award, or as Litquake Literary Festival founders Jane Ganahl and Jack Boulware put it, to braise her.
On stage, Ben Fong-Torres, author, broadcaster, rock journalist and all around renaissance man serenaded the guest of honor in his best Elvis. Ben remembers Amy when she was a business writer, before The Joy Luck Club , before 'she became Chinese again.'
What is there to know about Amy besides being a best-selling novelist including The Joy Luck Club, The Kitchen God's Wife, The Hundred Secret Senses, Saving Fish from Drowning and The Bonesetter's Daughter ?
