The Face in the Window: Sunshine Sketches Reconsidered
Abstract
The formative impulse of Stephen Leacock's Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town is a psychological one. By isolating some of its neglected resonances, such as the interiorization of fiction in the last chapter, we can account more satisfactorily for its endearing power. Sunshine Sketches operates skillfully on several different levels; ideas explored include time as separation and disintegration, the narrator's sense of a dissociated self, liberation from linear time in favour of fictional time, the framework of reminiscence.Published
