- RHYME SCHEMES
The Sufi and the skeptic: Rumi and Omar Khayyám
How odd that one of the most-loved poets in America is a 13th-century Islamic mystic, Jelaluddin Rumi, the spiritual teacher who founded the Whirling Dervish sect of Sufi ecstatics. Every year sees a score of new Rumi titles.
- Boats against the current
In “America America,” Ethan Canin's fourth novel, he suspensefully retraces the parallel histories of two upstate New York families on very different socioeconomic levels. That by itself might be enough – it's an engrossing book – but he is after bigger game.
