Various Otherness: Shields, King, Hodgins, and Birdsell Double-Voice the Short Story

There is such a thing as a core to the human personality, and I do think we carry that with us, more or less, but I guess I see people as being fairly fragile. I think most of us lose the sense of that core once every day or once every hour for a minute or two.—Carol Shields, Interview with Eleanor Wachtel

After a while, I saw that there was another kind of theme that seemed to be running through [Various Miracles]. But that just happened; I didn’t sit down and think, “Oh well, I’m going to be writing about language.” … But I very consciously—in writing these stories—decided that I would let the stories have their way, in a sense, which is something I hadn’t done much before.—Carol Shields, Kruk The Voice Is the Story
