Canin, Ethan Carry Me Across the Water
Random House Inc 2001 0679456791 / 9780679456797 Trade Paperback Fine
Near-new condition. Appears unread. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine, bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears. - 206 pages. - Synopsis A novel by the author of The Palace Thief and For Kings and Planets. Book Magazine August Kleinman is a scrappy, self-made Jewish-American whose stubbornness is a function of his gusto. Kleinman escapes Nazi Germany as a child; grows up in Brooklyn; fights in the South Pacific during World War II; and becomes enormously wealthy as a brewer in Pittsburgh. Now a retired widower in Boston, he embarks on a trip to Japan in order to deliver (after half a century) the love letters of a Japanese soldier he killed during the war. While the core premise is undeniably sentimental, Canin wisely makes his hero alternately enthralled by, and dismissive of, his mission: "This was what his life had distilled itself into—a contest of mysticism and pragmatics." Hardheaded Kleinman meditates on art, death and faith with disarming self-awareness, a testament to the author's breathtaking lyricism. The plot of this book remains tightly-woven, even as it stretches across seven decades and several continents, compressing a remarkable amount of chronology into a relatively short novel.

Canin, Ethan For Kings and Planets: A Novel
Random House 1998 0679419632 / 9780679419631 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine
A photo of this book is available. Near-new condition. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $24.95. 335 pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Tight spine, clean pages. Orno Tarcher arrives in New York City from a small town in Missouri, feeling unsophisticated and disadvantaged by his family's bedrock values. He meets Marshall Emerson, the charismatic gem of a worldly family, a seductive and brilliant New Yorker who is revealed, as time passes, to be bent on destruction. The novels explores with depth and sophistication the conflicts of character at the heart of every life, the desire for grandeur and the lure of normalcy, the tension between rivalry and friendship, fathers and sons, love and betrayal. For Kings and Planets is the story of a man who thinks of himself as moral, and who tests his character against power, deception, and seduction. It is also the story of a friendship fractured by love.
