	Amazon.ca: Sweeter Than All the World: Books: Rudy Wiebe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Rudy Wiebe's sprawling, ambitious, and powerful The Blue Mountains of China seemed as though it would stand as his definitive fictional chronicle of the Mennonite diaspora.
		Rudy Wiebe is a writer of considerable skill and subtlety, and this novel finds him in sure-footed control of a fascinating, complicated, highly relevant, and powerful story.
		Wiebe clearly believes that we need to strike a balance between forgetting the past and obsessing over it, and he comes down on the side of memory.

	The Historical Validity of Rudy Weibe’s The Temptations of Big Bear.
		Rudy Wiebe constructed his novel in such a way to make up for the limitations in the two areas he drew upon in creating this story: art and history.
		Wiebe allowed us a glimpse of the other side of the rich tapestry of history, the side with suspicious red stains on it that polite society would prefer face the wall.
		Wiebe admitted that he “[was] trying to unbury a story that [he saw was] there” (Cameron, 154) from the “giant slag heap left by the heroic white history” (Keith, Voice, 134).

		Rudy Wiebe was born on October 4, 1934, in an isolated farm community of about 250 people in a rugged but lovely region near Fairholme, Saskatchewan.
		Rudy Wiebe read as much as possible from an early age; his first reading materials were the Bible, the Eaton's catalogue and the Free Press Weekly Prairie Farmer; he also recalls listening to his parents’ stories of Russia.
		Wiebe then was invited to teach at a Mennonite college in Goshen, an agricultural town in Indiana with a large Mennonite and Amish population, where he would be Assistant Professor of English from 1963 to 1967.

	Beck, Oct. 99
		At Goshen Wiebe was surrounded by colleagues in the college and the seminary who vigorously debated the proper Christian pacifist response to the escalating war in Vietnam and who also were increasingly attracted to liberation theology, especially as it had affected Mennonite intellectuals, relief workers and missionaries in Latin America.
		Wiebe said that when he deplaned in Quito, Ecuador he saw "the rev[olution] still brewing" and knew that over the mountains the Amazonian Indians were resisting plantation owners and in Bolivia government forces were seeking out Che Guevara's army because they knew they had "everything to lose" if Che's forces won.
		Wiebe's sermon was a rather straightforward adaptation of the essay by Yoder, to whom Wiebe gave explicit credit in his public presentation.

		Rudy Wiebe has never understood why it so many Mennonite authors seem to think they have to leave the church in order to be writers.
		Wiebe, who graduated from Mennonite Brethren Bible College in 1962, said that religion had played a positive role in his life, noting that he has good memories of how the lay ministers in his boyhood home emphasized the goodness of God.
		Wiebe also talked about the criticism that writers shouldn’t include things that are negative in their books.

		Wiebe’s literary uniqueness–maintaining a close connection to the land while fostering an entirely distinctive style–informs both of the projects commemorating Wiebe’s life.
		Wiebe (born in Speedwell, Saskatchewan, in 1934), unlike most literary heroes, has spent almost all his life on the Prairies.
		Wiebe’s latest volume, as the title implies, eschews the life of his literary achievements in favour of his boyhood development.

	Amazon.ca: The Temptations of Big Bear: Books: Rudy Wiebe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Wiebe's historical novels are broad in scope and have gained a half-deserved reputation for difficulty.
		Wiebe is a versatile stylist, and his skirmishes and buffalo hunts are as adeptly handled as his management of psychological or political dilemmas.
		“Wiebe captures the pathos and the emotion of Native people at a certain point in their history and he does it well.

		Wiebe explains, “I guess it was a kind of bombshell because it was the first realistic novel ever written about Mennonites in western Canada.
		Wiebe has said, “To be an Anabaptist is to be a radical follower of the person of Jesus Christ.

	Manitoba History: Review: Rudy Wiebe and the Historicity of the Word
		In Rudy Wiebe and the Historicity of the Word, Penny van Toom places these historical novels within the context of all his writings and then recontextualizes his oeuvre on the basis of his intellectual background as a Mennonite and an important voice in Canadian literature.
		When Wiebe has her father requesting translation from his daughter, he seems to be signifying that she understood Big Bear, but even that is bizarre.
		She notes how Wiebe used the voice of Pierre Falcon “the historically real Métis bard,” (140) to frame the story as a dramatic monologue, but she is so concerned with Wiebe’s over-powering of Falcon’s voice with his own that she pays little attention to what the use of that real character was meant to say.

	Mennofolk :: Potluck
		Wiebe's career path can be traced in part through the insider discourse of producing "Mennonite writing." Hildi Froese Tiessen posits that Canadian Mennonite writing is post-colonial in that it is a discourse of marginality becoming central.
		That Wiebe responded to her letter, and that the two have corresponded for some time since, suggests that Wiebe was read as an equal owner to Big Bear's story by Johnson.
		Wiebe did not pursue Johnson to steal her story, but rather collaborated as a mediator because Johnson perceived him as sharing in the universally comprehensible story of Big Bear.

		Wiebe explores the battlefield at the Oldman River, now within the Lethbridge city limits, where in late October 1870, Cree and Assiniboine attacked a small Blood camp to avenge the killing of the Cree chief Maskepetoon.
		There is a universality to any story, Wiebe ventures, simply because the actions of characters and progression of plot bring readers "into worlds they know almost nothing about, but which are imaginatively exciting, because human beings are human beings.

	Wiebe,Rudy Books - Signed, used, new, out-of-print
		Early in his writing career, Rudy Wiebe's imagination was caught by a heroic character of Cree and Ojibwa ancestry whose birthplace was within twenty-five miles of where Wiebe himself was born 110 years later.
		Rudy Wiebe's latest novel is at once an enthralling saga of the Mennonite people and one man's emotional voyage into his heritage and his own self-discovery.
		Infused with the same storytelling style and energy that have made him one of Canada's most widely read and respected novelists, Rudy Wiebe's First and Vital Candle is the powerful story of one man's search for meaning, both in the mean streets of our urban landscape, and in the wilderness beyond.

		The other narrative voice is that of Adam Wiebe, born in Saskatchewan in 1935, whom we encounter at telling stages of his life: as a small boy playing in the bush, as a student hunting caribou a week before his wedding, and as a middle-aged man carefully negotiating a temporary separation from his wife.
		Wiebe meshes the history of a people with the story of a modern family, laying bare the complexities of desire and family love, religious faith and human frailty.
		Wiebe sets his narrative against his two favourite backdrops: the northern Alberta landscape, and the shared memories of the Mennonite people.

		Rudy Wiebe's Of This Earth: A Mennonite Boyhood in the Boreal Forest
		Rudy Wiebe, author of more than 20 works and two-time winner of the Governor General’s Literary Award, has fashioned a career writing of Mennonite life in Canada’s west.
		One of seven kids, Wiebe describes the labor of clearing trees in the “boreal forest that wraps itself like an immense muffler around the shoulders of North America.” While Wiebe’s recollections tend to ramble and roam, he returns faithfully to the same characters: hard-working Mam and Pah, sickly sis Helen, older and distant brother Dan.

		As Wiebe writes: "In startling contrast to the difficulty even the strongest white men have with the Arctic, the Inuit – both men and women, infants and elderly – have lived there happily for at least eight thousand years." Clearly, it is possible to survive.
		Wiebe argues that we are the stewards of the forests and the tundra, and, as a nation, we are only grudgingly coming to terms with this reality.
		Rudy Wiebe joins fellow Arctic-exploration author Ken McGoogan for a reading on October 17 at noon.
