Tan has some interesting remarks on the difference between the author's intentions when writing a novel, and the reader's interpretations when reading it. Also, starting with the setting is a novel approach to writing; usuallly a writer will tell you to start with the characters.

It is interesting to hear Amy Tan's views on writing. Always starting with the setting is a unique method to approach creative writing. The parallels between writing and reading groups are also interesting. Art isn't created in a vacuum and art isn't always digested in a vacuum either. Groups allow ideas to bounce off of one another, and ultimately makes one think about their position.
