N2  - Annotation; Claiming the "ordinary" and "extra-ordinary" as critical categories, contributors to this volume explore the philosophical and literary import of Carol Shields's writing, its complex play with genre and narrative technique, its re-valuing of domesticity and gendered perspective, and the social critique implicit in its gentle satirical impulses. Carol Shields and the Extra-Ordinary begins with a previously unpublished article by Shields. In the essays that follow, international scholars employ a variety of theories and methodologies in their analyses of her work, including narrative theory, cultural criticism, feminist analysis, psychoanalytic approaches, tropological explication, theories of authorship, and ficto-criticism to demonstrate how Shields's writing represents a genuine revision of literary realism in which the ordinary is subject to contemplation and not just celebration.Contributors include Carol Shields, Marta Dvorák (Sorbonne Nouvelle), Catherine Hobbs (Library and Archives Canada), Coral Ann Howells (Reading), Lorna Irvine (George Mason), Manina Jones (Western Ontario), Ellen Levy (Toulouse-Le Mirail), Christine Lorre (Sorbonne Nouvelle), Patricia-Léa Paillot (IUFM d'Aquitaine), Taïna Tuhkunen (Nantes), Aritha van Herk (Calgary), Héliane Ventura (Orléans), Christl Verduyn (Mount Allison), and Lorraine York (McMaster)
