03 Nov / Saving Fish from Drowning by Amy Tan [in AsianWeek]
A self-absorbed Chinese American arts patron, Bibi Chen, is murdered just before she was to lead a group of 12 friends through Burma. Even though she’s dead, she goes along anyway, occasionally channeling her expertise through dream messages. Uh-huh. When 11 of the group ‘disappear’ on Christmas (the 12th being too drunk to get up that morning), Bibi is conveniently there to continue the story – for yet another 200+ pages!
