What have I learned? The old verities, mostly; that love for our children is what sustains us; that people are not what they seem; that those we hate bear some wound equal to our own; that power is desperation's salve, and that this fact as much as any is what dooms us. -from America America by Ethan Canin

I think this book just came out today; have you read it already?
i have. i get them early. it's amazing.
just bought it this afternoon and am looking forward to digging in. i've read his other books and liked them a lot, especially his last couple. i wish canin got more attention.
so how come you get them early?
i work as a bookseller. we're send advanced copies of books so that we can be prepared to sell them on the day they come out in stores.
