Harper Perennial. 2006. 474p.Sider. Paperback. OK condition. Amy Tan, who has an unerring eye for relationships between mothers and daughters, especially Chinese-American, has departed from her well-known genre in Saving Fish From Drowning. She would be well advised to revisit that theme which she writes about so well. The title of the book is derived from the practice of Myanmar fishermen who ""scoop up the fish and bring them to shore. They say they are saving the fish from drowning. Unfortunately... the fish do not recover,"" This kind of magical thinking or hypocrisy or mystical attitude or sheer stupidity is a fair metaphor for the entire book. It may be read as a satire, a political statement, a picaresque tale with several ""picaros"" or simply a story about a tour gone wrong.
