单选题1 Lake Wissanotti, just outside the town of Mariposa, is one of Canada's most popular and enduring fictional places. The lake and town are the setting of Stephen Leacock's masterpiece, Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town, a collection of comic sketches and witty observations originally published in l 912. Leacock, one of the founders of Canadian literature, worked for most of his life as a professor of economics. His reputation as a political economist was worldwide, but it is Lake Wissanotti and Mariposa for which he is most remembered today. 2 Sunshine Sketches is a portrait of small-town Canadian life in the early twentieth century. Mariposa represents a past to be cherished, a pastoral and idyllic town that allows for human folly. If there is any satire, it is immediately bathed in warm sunshine. Although Sunshine Sketches has the complexity of a novel, it is more properly defined as a short- story cycle. A vital force is the book's narrator, who is at times intimately close to the comings and goings of Mariposa life, but distant enough to sustain the focus on human folly.
