The Joy Luck Club is a novel made up of 16 short stories, all that connect to a common theme. You will be reading selected stories from this novel and providing your own insights and responses to each one using this wikispace. My hope is that through online discussion, you will be more willing to share your valuable thoughts and viewpoints with others, and learn from one another in the process.
