IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Fiction writer EthanCanin, a new faculty member this fall at the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop, will read from his new book, "For Kings and Planets," at 8 p.m.
we must now add EthanCanin's 'For Kings and Planets.' the prose is distinguished by a seamless, lighter-than-air eloquence that calls to mind as much Cheever as Fitzgerald.
Canin, who is a graduate of both the UI Writers' Workshop and the Harvard Medical School, is the author of "Emperor of the Air," "Blue River," and "The Palace Thief," which was named one of the 20 best books of the year by Granta magazine.
