4.9/5 (21881 ratings)

Description:Carol Shields has a knack for turning the ordinary into the extraordinary and nowhere more than in this luminous collection, which distills all her elegance, wisdom, and humor into short stories that are more like concise novels. Throughout these stories runs Shields' preoccupation with identity - as in the title story, "A Compacted Day in the Life of the World", in which a procession of characters try on new selves. Yet these stories and their quiet epiphanies reflect all the contrasts of human existence...from the bittersweet sexuality of "Eros" to the wicked skewering of pompous academic conversation in "The Next Best Kiss".Playful, graceful, acute yet tender, 'DRESSING UP FOR THE CARNIVAL' is Carol Shields at her most accomplished and appealing.Running Time => 6hrs. and 20mins.©1999 Carol Shields (P)2000, 2017 Audio Literature / Phoenix BooksWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
