Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Attached ribbon-Small scratch on cover otherwise clean, tight and unmarked." Carol Shields, the Pulitzer Prize-winner author of the novels Unless, The Stone Diaries and Larrys Party was also a renowned short story writer. Now readers can enjoy all three of Carol Shieldss short story collections Various Miracles, The Orange Fish and Dressing Up for the Carnival in one volume, along with the previously unpublished story, Segue, her last.- With an eye for the smallest of telling details a woman applying her lipstick so the shape of pale raspberry fits perfectly the face she knows by heart and a willingness to explore the most fundamental relationships and the wildest of coincidences, Shields illuminates the absurdities and miracles that grace all our lives. From a couple who experiences a world without weather, to the gentle humor of an elderly widow mowing her lawn while looking back on a life of passion, to a young woman abandoned by love and clinging to a slender handrail of hope, Shieldss enormous sympathy for her characters permeates her fiction.-Playful, charming, acutely observed and generous of spirit, this collection of stories will delight and enchant Carol Shields fans everywhere.-Excerpt from The Collected Stories of Carol Shields-Let me say it: I am an aging woman of despairing good cheer just look into the imaginary camera lens and watch me as I make the Sunday morning transaction over the bread, then the flowers, my straw tote from our recent holiday in Jamaica, my smile, my upturned sixty-seven-year-old voice, a voice so crying-out and clad with familiarity that, in fact, I cant hear it anymore myself, thank God; my ears are blocked. Lately everything to do with my essence has become transparent, neutral: Good morning, Jane Sexton smiles to one and all (such a friendly, down-to-earth woman). What a perfect fall day. What glorious blooms! Why Mr. Henning, this bread is still warm! Can this be true?. Seller Inventory # 012512
