At the risk of incurring Charlie’s wrath, I thought I’d say that Sunshine Sketches has been on my TBR for a long time, so that when I saw the posts here I thought I’d bump it up. I like it. It’s not uproarious, but it’s funny enough for my tastes and very effective as a snapshot of a time and place. And while I take astrangerhere’s reference to Winesburg, Ohio which I think is spot-on, I also get a distinct Mark Twain vibe.
I’m really just posting to say that it’s not as bad as all that, the contrary, in fact. It won’t make my ten-best list, but it’s a pleasant and amusing read, especially for summer. I’m glad the selection has got me to read it.
