Download Dressing Up for the Carnival: A Collection of Stories AudioBook Free
Carol Shields has a knack for turning the ordinary into the outstanding and nowhere more than in this luminous collection, which distills all her elegance, wisdom, and humor into short tales that are similar to concise books. Throughout these tales works Shields' preoccupation with personal information - just as the title account, a compacted day in the life span of the world, in which a procession of individuals try on new selves. Yet these tales and their silent epiphanies reflect all the contrasts of individuals lifetime...from the bittersweet sexuality of "Eros" to the wicked skewering of pompous academic chat in "ANOTHER Best Kiss". Playful, graceful, acute yet tender, Dressing Up for the Carnival is Carol Shields at her most accomplished and appealing.
