ODD and Sandy had been friends for just a few weeks, and Sandy knew they were about to say good-bye to each other.
This thing between them was an episode taking place on a small screen. A mini-flick, as Todd would say, a scenario, a sketch. One million words had flown by, but nothing had been promised or declared, and Sandy could sense the way she and Todd were using each other up minute by minute, one talky voice drinking the other dry.

    Both of them loved to talk or, more accurately, they felt compelled to talk. A hyperverbal compulsion was what they shared, according to their acquaintances, way up there on the glottal thermometer, and that was putting it kindly. This talkiness might be genetic, or it might be what was expected of them. They were both professors, he on the West Coast, she on the East; she was in history, he was in sociology/film studies/cultural exegesis. ("Professor of et cetera" that was one of Todd's little jokes on himself, almost his only joke.)

    "Unless"
    (Reviewed by Bill Robinson JUL 21, 2002) "Everyone is coming out these days for the pleasures of ordinary existence. Sunsets. Dandelions. Fencing in the back yard and staying home." Carol Shields wrote these lines several years ago in a short story titled "Soup du Jour." In that same story, she quotes a fictitious newspaper columnist as announcing, "The quotidian is where it's at." Shields latest novel

    T he much awaited new book by Canadian award winning author Carol Shields has a hard act to follow. Her previous book 'Stone Diaries' won the Pulitzer Prize and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, whilst 'Larrys Party' won the Orange prize.
    Synopsis

    Reta Winters is 44 years old. She lives an enchanted life in the quiet, prosperous rolling hills of Ontario, in a beautiful, large, comfortable
    home. She is happily married to Tom the local Doctor, and has three
    intelligent and attractive teenage daughters, two of whom live at home. Reta is a writer of light fiction, who has had some success with her first novel, and is currently working on the sequel, as well as translating

    "Unless" by Carol Shields
    In the last novel by Pulitzer-winner Carol Shields, a daughter drops out to live on the street, forcing her mother to reassess her "happy" life. By Laura Miller Pages 1 There are some readers who simply cannot muster any interest in a novel in which the main character's mind can be preoccupied with such matters. Those readers may want to leave right now: The Chuck Palahniuk books are on the second shelf on your left as you go out. And have fun. That's better. Reta Winter is a translator, the author of a successful "light" novel, the wife of a doctor in a small Canadian town near Toronto and the mother of three teenage girls. After the unspooling, patchwork fashion of most Carol Shields novels (though not perhaps as eccentrically as her Pulitzer-winning "The Stone Diaries"), "Unless" describes Reta's largely happy life and the aftermath of what appears to be the sole tragedy to ever seriously ruffle its surface. Her eldest daughter, Norah, living on her own for the first time, suddenly abandons her life as a college student to take up a spot on a Toronto street corner, where she sits all day long holding a begging bowl and a sign with the word "goodness" printed on it. Norah refuses to speak to or even acknowledge her family or friends. Each of the book's chapters, like the novel itself, is titled with the sort of words or phrases that Reta calls "little chips of grammar (mostly adverbs or prepositions) that are hard to define, since they are abstractions of location or relative position, words like

    29. Bold Type: Short Story By Carol Shields
    photo of carol shields first pullquote second pullquote, carol shields Mirrors When he thinks about the people he s known in his life, a good many of them
    http://www.randomhouse.com/boldtype/0997/shields/sstory.html
    When he thinks about the people he's known in his life, a good many of them seem to have cultivated some curious strand of asceticism, contrived some gesture of renunciation. They give up sugar. Or meat. Or newspapers. Or neckties. They sell their second car or disconnect the television. They might make a point of staying at home on Sunday evenings or abjuring chemical sprays. Something anyway, that signals dissent and cuts across the beating heart of their circumstances, reminding them of their other, leaner selves. Their better selves.
    He and his wife have claimed their small territory of sacrifice, too. For years they've become "known" among their friends for the particular deprivation they've assigned themselves: for the fact that there are no mirrors in their summer house. None at all. None are allowed.
    The need to observe ourselves is sewn into us, everyone knows this, but he and his wife have turned their back on this need, said no to it, at least for the duration of the summer months. Otherwise, they are not very different from other couples nearing the end of middle agehe being sixty, she fifty-eight, their children grown up and married and living hundreds of miles away.
    In September they will have been married thirty-five years, and they're already planning a week in New York to celebrate this milestone, five nights at the Algonquin (for sentimental reasons) and a few off-Broadway shows, already booked. They stay away from the big musicals as a rule, preferring, for want of a better word, serious drama. Nothing experimental, no drugged angst or scalding discourse, but plays that coolly examine the psychological positioning of men and women in our century. This torn, perplexing century. Men and women who resemble themselves.

      The respected author Carol Shields has died in British Columbia, Canada at the age of 68.
      After raising five children and living as what she called a "typical" 1950s housewife, Shields "took a master's degree, got involved in left-wing politics, learned French and gradually woke up." She has written more than 20 books, including poetry, essays and a recent biography of Jane Austen, and her writing has been translated into 22 languages. Shields was featured on the longlist for this year's Orange Prize for her novel Unless, which she wrote following learning she had stage three breast cancer in 1998.

    The impressive contrast between the writings of Carol Shields and Pablo Neruda is a reflection of the cataclysmic differences in the characteristics of their regions (Shields is Canadian; Neruda is Chilean), their genders, their times, and their literary formats. They have, in fact, so little in common that this post could well contain the only direct comparison between the two. And, they appear together here only because I coincidentally discovered online sources of their work within the same day. In any case, most of us hunger for - and need - all the perspectives on love that skilled writers, such as Shields and Neruda, can create.

      I'm not interested, the way some people are, in being sad. I've had a look, and there's nothing down that road. Well now! What about the ripping sound behind my eyes, the starchy tearing of fabric, end to end; what about the need I have to curl up my knees when I sleep?
      For all of her life, 44 year old Reta Winters has enjoyed the useful monotony of happiness: a loving family, good friends, growing success as a writer of light 'summertime' fiction. But this placid existence is cracked wide open when her beloved eldest daughter, Norah, drops out to sit on a gritty street corner, silent but for the sign around her neck that reads 'GOODNESS.' Reta's search for what drove her daughter to such a desperate statement turns into an unflinching and surprisingly funny meditation on where we find meaning and hope. Warmth, passion and wisdom come together in Shields' remarkably supple prose. Unless
