This is a message forwarded with permission from The Compass. Any of you who have
read The Stone Diaries, Unless, Larry's Party, or any of the other wonderful works
by Carol Shields will, I'm sure, join the Canadian literary community in morning
the death of this great author.

In this special issue:
Carol Shields (1935-2003)
While some of our subscribers will have already heard the news, many of
you outside of Canada may not yet have heard that Carol Shields passed
away yesterday after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Since her diagnosis was made public some months ago, Northwest Passages
has received many e-mails from her readers hoping to reach her through our
website to tell her how much her work had affected their lives. This
outpouring of emotion says a lot about the power of Carol Shields' writing
and the connection that it created (and continues to create) between
writer and reader. These are books that have tremendous reach. These are
books that will stand the test of time.
To mark the passing of Carol Shields, we have done an extensive update of
her author profile at Northwest Passages. It can be found here: [

We also invite you to leave comments about Carol Shields and her work on
our discussion board, which you can reach from our homepage.
