Commentary Concering Books Unless

Compulsively readable, this main character comes from a very long, proud lineage of other literary protagonists who get totally fucked over by their offspring. Although it doesn't come close to the pathos & articulation thereof of, say, Lionel Shriver's "We Need to Talk About Kevin", nor the titan-in-decay tableau which is Philip Roth's "American Pastoral"--"Unless" is way more playful, more accessible. It is the same old story, though. &, unless anything happens to me, I will definitely get my hands on every single thing Carol Shields has written or will write!!

"Unless" is the last book Shields wrote before she succumbed to cancer. Written in true literary style, the book chronicles the life of a novelist/translator as she copes with the withdrawal of her daughter from college to a mute sitting on a street corner with a sign which simply reads "Goodness". All phases and forms of woman as creator of life, words, information, and emotion; as mother, daughter, sister, friend; as intellectual and emoter; and as feminist, femme, activist, accommodator and

This book is not about big things...it is about a woman in her fourties who is writing novels and leads a rather ordinary life. While we read about her world (her husband, her three daughters - one of them does something completely unexpected -, her books, her editor,...) we get to know her thinking processes, and learn how her doubts and certainities change.. She offers us an insight on her opinions on emanicpation of women in the letters she writes (but doesnt send) to several instances. I

I am tempted to write, "this was a beautifully written load of old cobblers" and leave it at that, but that statement probably deserves to be elaborated on. I didn't start out hating on this novel, it incrementally built up, misdeed upon misdeed. I can't work out if Shields is basically thumbing her nose at any critic that has suggested woman's writing is too small, too focused on the domestic, not concerned with the larger crisis of 'man'. In Unless Shields seems to be purposely playing to

A perfectly normal, healthy and congenial nineteen-year-old young woman who grew up in a closely-knit and nurturing well-to-do family suddenly quits university, her family and her boyfriend to panhandle in a street corner of downtown Toronto.The novel is the youngsters mothers account of her experiences in dealing with the shocking loss of her lovely eldest daughter. She makes a desperate attempt to come up with possible reasons for her derelict daughters inconceivable action. Being a translator

At first sight Unless is a simple story, somewhat dated in its telling, making an (by the standards of 2017) unfashionable commentary on the joys of homemaking (by women).The narrative is rather deeper than that, though, and cuts to the core of family hurt and upheaval if a loved child goes off the rails. Carol Shields also reflects deeply and frequently on the difficulties, for women particularly, in trying to make a real and lasting difference in their lives."My nineteen year old doomed to

I was so bored reading this book. It started out boring in the first chapter when she listed all of her works and explained her translations. I'm not one of those type of readers where a book has to immediately grip you in the beginning otherwise you quit. So I kept on reading hoping it would get better... but it didn't. The book focuses on how Reta deals with her daugher, Norah's, strange decision to live in a shelter and to beg on the streets. Reta starts to believe the reason why Norah became
