Short Stories That Feature Small Miracles in Real Time
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Carol Shields as short story writer lets her imagination ramble and authors a collection that helped her overcome writer's block while working on the novel Swann. She places her characters in a variety of circumstances where they experience those moments when the mirrors of reality align and understanding appears before them. These are not religious miracles, but understanding life, its richness and depth, in real time. Take an hour or two and read Sailors Lost at Sea; Scenes; Fragility; Dolls, Dolls, Dolls, Dolls; and Home. You'll discover Shields's optimism and faith in the ability of everday people to explore and discover.
