  • Il circolo della fortuna e della felicità (1989) è un romanzo di successo di Amy Tan. La storia racconta di quattro famiglie cinesi statunitensi immigrate a San Francisco, in California, che creano un circolo denominato circolo della fortuna e della felicità durante le festività, mentre mangiano buon cibo e giocano al vecchio gioco cinese del mahjong. Lo stesso libro è strutturato in un modo quasi simile ad una partita di mahjong, contiene infatti quattro parti divise in altrettante sezioni, in modo da creare 16 capitoli. Le tre madri e quattro figlie (una delle madri, Suyuan Woo, muore prima dell'apertura del romanzo) si raccontano le storie delle loro vite in forma di vignetta. Ogni parte è preceduta da una parabola legata al gioco. Nel 1993, il regista Wayne Wang ha diretto un adattamento cinematografico del libro, anch'esso intitolato Il circolo della fortuna e della felicità. Gli attori principali erano Ming-Na, Lauren Tom, Tamlyn Tomita, France Nuyen, Rosalind Chao, Kieu Chinh, Tsai Chin, Lisa Lu e Vivian Wu. La sceneggiatura è stata scritta dalla stessa Amy Tan, insieme allo sceneggiatore Ronald Bass. Infine, il romanzo è stato adattato da Susan Kim anche in uno spettacolo teatrale, che ha debuttato al Pan Asian Repertory Theatre di New York. (it)
