A Voice in the Land brings together Wiebe's early articles in Mennonite papers, the best of the interviews with Wiebe, reviews of him, and articles about his work. It adds to these several new articles about Wiebe's work and a new interview with Wiebe by Robert Kroetsch. This collection in one volume of Wiebe's own essays and interviews and of the reviews and articles by his most astute critics provides Wiebe's readers with indispensable background and with new insights into his novels. Wiebe's early essays in this volume add to our understanding of his rural Mennonite background, his convictions about the role of the Mennonite church and his belief in the artist as 'a critic and a witness' of his times.
