Items related to Carry Me Across the Water
Breathtaking in its suspense and beauty, Carry Me Across the Water is the story of a man's turbulent journey, with his family, through the central years of the twentieth century. Young August Kleinman escapes from Nazi Germany to America, where his mother's words--"Take the advice of no one"--fate him to a life of boldness and originality, from the poor streets of New York to the marble mansions of industrial Pittsburgh, from old world Hamburg to the jungle islands of the Pacific. Ultimately, near the end of a long and bountiful life, his resolution of a haunting encounter with a Japanese soldier during World War Two finally illuminates, at the deepest levels, the way authentic lives truly unfold. From the writer hailed as "the most mature and accomplished novelist of his generation" (Alan Cheuse, National Public Radio) comes this "exquisitely modulated short novel" (Los Angeles Times), which "eases its silky-smooth way into a reader's consciousness even as it plumbs the depths" (Newsday).

Review:
"The most wise and beautiful novel of 2001."--London Daily Telegraph "Carry Me Across the Water reconfirms Canin's stature as one of the best fiction writers of his generation." --The Miami Herald "A daring and heartbreaking success."--The Atlanta Journal-Constitution "It's [a] testament to Canin's mastery that he's able to encompass the largest possible themes--life and death, war and peace, mortality and transcendence--with such elliptical precision. . . . The novel represents such a powerfully transformative experience--for protagonist and reader alike."--Chicago Sun-Times "A hypnotic, intricately structured, elegiac novel." --L.A. Weekly
