Book Synopsis Rudy Wiebe and the Historicity of the Word by : Penelope Van Toorn
Book excerpt: In an entertaining re-examination of Rudy Wiebe's major novels, Penny van Toorn presents a completely new way of reading one of Canada's foremost contemporary writers. She analyzes Wiebe's struggle to control the "socially contested territory" of language, and identifies the principles that underlie his complex narrative structures.
