Today's story selection
comes from a writer whose
line and work always
has a quiet patience to its
tone and content. One of
the master writers of the
20th century who is most
known for her novels such
as the Pulitzer-Prize winning
Stone Diaries, Carol Shields.

"From June to August they choose to forget who they are, or at least what they look like, electing an annual season of non-reflectiveness in the same way other people put away their clocks for the summer or their computers or door keys or microwave ovens."
Please, enjoy
(Shields was originally from Illinois
but later moved to Canada, so she's often
thought of as a Canadian writer, but
to this writer and also native of Illinois,
Shields's concerns have always
seemed Midwestern.)
