«Dressing Up for the Carnival» is Carol Shields's short story collection, published by Harpercollins MD in paperback (256 pages, in English).
A collection of stories that explores the extraordinary in ordinary life: characters who dress up and transform themselves, a couple overwhelmed by a meteorologists' strike, or a boy reflecting while his mother makes soup. The stories attend to the small details that make up identities and to the realities each person constructs.
It is Carol Shields's second short story collection, author of The Stone Diaries and Larry's Party, winners respectively of the Pulitzer and the Orange Prize.
For readers of short fiction and literary fiction who enjoy compassionate portraits of everyday life and small personal rituals.
Carol Ann Shields was an American-born Canadian novelist and short story writer. She is best known for her 1993 novel The Stone Diaries, which won the U.S. Pulitzer Prize for Fiction as well as the Governor General's Award in Canada.
