Summary "A Canadian Bankclerk" by J. P. Buschlen is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Evan Nelson, a young man who embarks on a new career as a bank clerk in Mt. Alban, Canada. The narrative captures the challenges and experiences he faces as he navigates his apprenticeship in the banking sector, juxtaposing his professional growth with the emotional trials of homesickness and budding romance. At the start of the novel, the rural village of Hometon offers a nostalgic backdrop as Evan bids farewell to familiar faces, hoping to make a successful transition into the banking world. The initial chapters establish his relationships with his family and friends, presenting his aspirations and the disillusionments that come with entering adulthood. The narrative follows Evan's clumsy encounters with bank procedures, humorous missteps with colleagues, and gradual adaptation to his new life, all while reflecting on his past and feelings for a girl named Frankie. This sets the stage for his character development throughout the story as he grapples with the realities of his chosen profession and the emotions tied to his hometown.
