"[Shields is] a witty, whimsical, playful writer...a devious literary chameleon...Each step along the route is a surprise, and each character is a memorable creation whose keys unlock more than anyone may suspect." The New York Times Book "There are few writers currently at work who display such steely control of their material, such seemingly effortless range and variety." -- Guardian "Shields is about the best we have, she does not just express what oft was thought; she snags the shadows of those thoughts, the thoughts we did not know we had. The effect - at once elating and visceral - feels like a conjurer pulling a handkerchief from your heart." -- Daily Telegraph (London) "Her perceptions are so quick, her style is so acute, that she can tack a breath to the page and skewer a thought on the wing. It is her speciality to isolate moments that, because of some sensuous overkill they possess, remaining distinct in the mind for years, perhaps for a lifetime." Hilary Mantel, Sunday Times (London) 'It is the breadth of Carol Shields' human sympathy that marks her out as a special writer. That breadth is gloriously evident in "Dressing Up for the Carnival". Whether she is playing the clown or offering poignant reflections on the fragility of happiness, Shields writes with a grace and lucidity that few of her contemporaries can match.' -- Sunday Telegraph (London), "[Shields is] a witty, whimsical, playful writer...a devious literary chameleon...Each step along the route is a surprise, and each character is a memorable creation whose keys unlock more than anyone may suspect."

Synopsis
A bestselling collection of short stories from the author of The Stone Diaries (winner of the Pulitzer prize) and Larry's Party (winner of the Orange prize) All over town people are putting on their costumes; X slips into his wife's lace-trimmed night gown and waltzes around his bedroom; Tamara is no longer the dull clerk receptionist when she wears that yellow skirt, she evolves into a stunning creature exuding passion and vitality. In 'Weather' a couple's life is thrown into utter chaos when The National Association of Metereorologists go on strike - what will they wear? What will they eat? In 'Soup du Jour' a young boy contemplates life, the cracks in the pavement and his mother's soup-making. Each story encapsulates the human spirit, its diversities, complexities and absurdities. Shields observes with compassion the carnival that goes on in each of our lives and the realities that we create for ourselves. Carol Shields' second collection of short stories celebrates the extraordinary details that are found in ordinary, everyday lives., In Dressing Up for the Carnival , Carol Shields distills her characteristic wisdom, elegance, and insouciant humor in twenty-two luminous stories. A wealth of surprises and contrasts, this collection ranges from the lyricism of "Weather," in which a couple's life is thrown into chaos when the National Association of Meteorologists goes on strike, to the swampy sexuality of "Eros," in which a room in a Parisian hotel on the verge of ruin is the catalyst for passion, to the brave confidence of "A Scarf"-new for this collection-which chronicles the realities of a fledging author's book tour. Playful, graceful, acutely observed, and generous of spirit, these stories will delight her devoted fans and win her new converts as well.

- i***d (30)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaOur package arrived well packed, and in perfect condition! It was exactly as described and we are very pleased. The shipping only took a few days after it got into the postal system. It is a great value for the money and we love having it on our table for the Easter season. Thank you!
- o***w (3152)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaA nice copy of The New Revised Standard Version of the Bible. It was securely packaged and shipped quickly. I am very pleased. I highly commend this dealer to anyone interested in the items offered by this person for sale. I don't think the purchaser will be disappointed in the service received. All told this is a fantastic seller. Ebay will certainly encourage any buyer to leave extensive feedback so others can share in the positive experience one has. Onward and upward as they say....
- r***g (1312)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaMixed review...but not seller's fault. Great seller, fast shipping. But our regular postal delivery worker was on vacation and temp route worker lied saying packed was delivered. Did not put in lock boxes and said handed to "individual". Probably stole or lost it. Spend two days asking everyone in building for it. Put in lost non-delivery with USPS. Leaving positive as seller shipped...just never received. Not their fault.Vintage Fire King Anchor Hocking Measuring Batter Bowl #88 Glass 4 Cup/1Qt (#356289813873)
