Product DescriptionRun a Quick Search on "Carry Me Across the Water" by Ethan Canin to Browse Related Products:Browse more products related to "Carry Me Across the Water"Browse more products related to "Ethan Canin"Review"CARRY ME ACROSS THE WATER is a short book, and it remains, despite its narrative sweep of time and geography, something of a chamber piece. But...it's a chamber piece that evokes intense and somber emotions." "At times, CARRY ME seems an overly self-conscious homage to the author's own greatest-generation forebears, nodding to a roster of post-World War II Jewish literary trailblazers, from Miller to Malamud, with a little Bellow and Roth thrown in. But give Canin credit for...telling Augie's story with admirable modesty, insight, and generosity." "Hardheaded Kleinman mediates 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." Publisher's noteThe author of The Palace Thief returns with a novel that follows the lives and fortunes of August Kleinman, a man who shapes his destiny in the fires of World War II and its aftermath. AnnotationAugust Kleinman is a World War II veteran now living in Pittsburgh, where he has made a fortune as the founder of a prosperous brewery. As Canin narrates episodes from Kleinman's life, past and present, an episode from the war, on the island of Okinawa, takes center stage, and Kleinman travels to Japan to right an old wrong. A New York Times Notable Book for 2001.
