  <default_description>EMPEROR OF THE AIR &quot;explores tricky family relationships and tender moments of self-discovery with a voice of compassion rarely found in contemporary short fiction&quot; (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.</default_description>
