Dressing Up for the Carnival Paperback - 2001
by Carol Shields
A Pulitzer Prize-winning author distills all of her wisdom, elegance, eroticism and insouciant humor into 22 wonderful narratives, each so rich that it seems to hold within it the kernel for an entire novel.
Summary
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.
