Résumé

In Paul Hiebert's Sarah Binks, incongruity between what is real and what is perceived or fancied is sustained at all levels, thus maintaining throughout the contrast necessary for humour. Noonan extends the concept of incongruity to apply to the general states of mind of Sarah, the fictional "Author," Hiebert, and the reader.
