Ecco, an imprint of HarperCollins, has announced the next two books by best-selling novelist Amy Tan, following her forthcoming novel, The Valley of Amazement, which will be released on November 5th.
The first will be a currently untitled collection of essays set for release in the Fall of 2014. The second, a novel will be titled The Memory of Desire, and will be on shelves in the Fall of 2016.
In a press release, the author described her upcoming works:
"In a few months, I'll finish the first, as yet untitled collection of personal essays on writing and the way my mind works - why I write, what I think about, what I wonder over, and the way my imagination gets released."
"The second book is a novel called The Memory of Desire, about a house in San Francisco and the battle for ownership among three families over the last seventy-five years. The narrator is an octogenarian who has had a stroke and finds she can speak only Chinese, the once-forgotten language of her childhood. She can now recall what she heard long ago, the source of the feud, and the reason her memory of it was removed. It's a story about motives, passion, and inherited desire."
