520			_a"The Land of Afternoon: A Satire" by Gilbert Knox is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work intends to use satire to critique certain aspects of social and political life in Canada, particularly as it relates to the experiences of its protagonist, Marjorie Dilling. The narrative focuses on Marjorie and her husband Raymond as they adjust to life in Ottawa after moving from the simpler environment of Pinto Plains. The opening of the novel immerses readers in the bustling Byward Market in Ottawa, setting a vivid scene for Marjorie, who struggles with feelings of isolation and culture shock. As she navigates the busy market, her attempts to shop for sweetbreads exemplify her discomfort in the city’s social scenes. The contrast between the vibrant yet harsh atmosphere of the market and Marjorie’s longing for the familiarity and warmth of her country home highlights her internal struggles. As the story progresses, Marjorie grapples with her new reality in the capital, yearning for connections and acceptance amidst the formal and often elitist society she faces.
