Anniversary

by Carol Shields, Dave Williamson

Did you know that one of the world's best-loved novelists is also an acclaimed playwright? Carol Shields has been delighting audiences for years with her plays, among them, Departures & Arrivals, Thirteen Hands, and Fashion, Power, Guilt and the Charity of Families (all available from Blizzard). In her plays, Carol's familiar readers will discover a whole new facet to this award-winning author of eight novels, including The Stone Diaries, for which she won the Pulitzer Prize. In writing for the stage, Carol Shields combines the unparalleled elegance of her prose with an uncanny sense of the ironic, and a devilish penchant for comedy. Her plays push the conventional boundaries of social protocol, upsetting the usual aesthetic of introspection.
