Rudy Wiebe: Essays on His Works--Book Review by Angie Abdou, Alberta Views. 

Rudy Wiebe - Alberta Views:

"...The collection is a worthy celebration of an artist who made a significant mark on the literary landscape of this country, particularly in his groundbreaking work as a Mennonite prairie writer.
"...the contributor list is star-studded, with offerings by such CanLit icons as Margaret Atwood, Miriam Toews, George Melnyk, Olga Stein, Aritha van Herk and Katherine Govier. Some of these were once students of Wiebe’s at the University of Alberta, and the book demonstrates his influence as a teacher as well as an author. Readers might be surprised by the candid discussions of Wiebe’s approach to the classroom. His former students, while expressing their gratitude, feel comfortable calling him out on some of his more dated ideas. van Herk, for example, writes “I credit his benign chauvinism with strengthening my particular brand of fierce feminism.”
