“Flying in the face of the dictum “Those who can’t do, teach” is Chris Canaan. Who knows how Chris finds the time to write three screenplays, two novels, and a TV miniseries, while driving to UCLA once a week from Thousand Oaks! Who knows how he manages to read reams of these student pages without shoving a shotgun into his tonsils? And who knows how he can be so accommodating and encouraging and insightful and wise.”
