Not my typical kind of book and that's why I decided to read it and I enjoyed it. Several of the stories were very engaging and connected with my own experiences in life. My favorite was a story titled "We are Nighttime Travelers." (

I find it amazing that Ethan Canin can juggle a busy career in medicine with his family life and still find time to write a fantastic book (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0618004149, Paperback)

EMPEROR OF THE AIR "explores tricky family relationships and tender moments of self-discovery with a voice of compassion rarely found in contemporary short fiction" (San Francisco Chronicle). Whether his characters are struggling to save trees in their yards, their marriages, or themselves, Cannin renders their moments of revelation with rich observation, energy, humor, and grace.
