Description

Rudy Wiebe was born in 1934 near Fairholme, SK. He has published 25 books, including the Governor General’s Award-winning The Temptations of Big Bear and A Discovery of Strangers. His latest novel is Come Back.

In this illuminating and wide-ranging selection, Wiebe provides a look behind the curtain, revealing his thought processes as he worked on many of his great books. Throughout, he dissects controversies that arose after the publication of his early novels, meditates on words and their inherent power, explores the great Canadian North and body politic, and reckons with his family history and faith, all while providing an engaging and enlightening commentary. Where the Truth Lies is a vital compilation of a writing life.
