• Sommario/riassunto: "Le Carnaval du quotidien", the French version of "Dressing up for the Carnival", is the third and final collection of short stories by Carol Shields. Shields' short stories reveal the playfulness and fertile imagination of this great lady of Canadian literature. A meteorologists' strike causes a total suspension of the climate (Acclimatement). The government introduces a tax on windows that encourages the population to retreat into darkness by covering all the glassy surfaces of the houses (Windows). Stop! deals with the reclusion of a queen who is allergic to everything, even the march of time. Reportage looks at the discovery of a Roman amphitheatre in Manitoba that is transforming the local economy. We also meet Titus, a shepherd from antiquity, who invents daydreaming in the short story Invention. From one short story to the next, the reader is invited into Shields' world where life is a spectacle and everyday life is neither mundane nor ordinary.
