Reading Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town | Alexandria
Read Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town by Stephen Leacock. Weaving small-town satire into biting social commentary, Sunshine Sketches reveals how financial schemes and petty politics haven't changed since 1912. Leacock's Mariposa shows our own communities' quirks through an eerily prescient lens. His bold claim - that rural simplicity masks deep sophistication - upends assumptions about "simple" small-town life.
