A diverse, if uneven, collection of short stories that run a gamut of experiences and feature an array of characters and perspectives. ( ) Not your typical short stories. Very few had a plot or even central conflict. It's more like you're a fly and you buzz in and out of homes to witness snippets of life happening all over space and time. Many of the characters are middle-aged, often divorced or in unhappy marriages (sometimes just co-habituating) and/or there has been infidelity in the relationships. Some of the stories are peculiar, making me wonder if I totally missed the point once I got to the end. Perhaps I did, as I raced through many of the stories instead of slowly digesting them one by one. I liked the one where the meterologists go on strike and there's no weather, the one where the writer avoids the letter I and narrates the experience. There were a few others, too, but on the whole, I'd say I am more of a short story traditionalist. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

For the first time all of Carol Shields' remarkable short stories - some previously unpublished - are gathered together in one volume. 'Carol Shields' stories have given me happiness, not just pleasure' Alice Munro In the Collected Stories we bring together Carol Shields' original short-story volumes, Various Miracles, The Orange Fish and Dressing Up for the Carnival, as well as many stories not previously published in the UK, including 'Segue', her last work. In these stories the author combines the dazzling virtuosity and wise maturity that won so many readers to her prize-winning novels such as The Stone Diaries and Unless.
