顿悟与启迪：卡罗尔·希尔兹谈写作
(add) Carol Shields
On Mother's Day 2013, her daughter Anne Giardini, who is also a writer, proposed to her son Nicolas Giardini that they edit a book together. To this end, Nicholas has become a frequent visitor to the National Library and Archives of Canada. He carefully read through all the files left by his grandmother Carol Shields - her correspondence with her daughter, friends, students, essays, reading notes, critical articles and speeches, etc., Sorted out Carol Shields' various thoughts on writing, and published it under the title "Epiphany and Enlightenment". This book valuablely conveys the true voice of Carol Shields, just like chatting with a friend, inadvertently reflecting on the most fundamental questions about writing: Why do we write? Can writing be taught? What drives readers from the first page to the last? Carol Shields said: "I've always wanted to believe that fiction is about redemption, about trying to understand how people become the way they are."
