Armin’s Shorts

By (author): Armin Wiebe

Showcasing a selection of stories from Armin Wiebe’s 30 year writing career, Armin’s Shorts features tales from the familiarly fictitious Mennonite community of Gutenthal, re-imagined origin stories from the Tlįchǫ of the subarctic, and flights of pure fantasy set in modern day Winnipeg.

Funny enough to make your “grandmother sit up in her black trough coffin and laugh,” and so gut wrenching you’ll feel “that clunk in the heart, and that wrunsch in the stomach,” master story teller, Armin Wiebe, presents a veritable smorgasbord of short stories that cover the gamut of human experience with a wry sense of humour, a stern sense of justice, and a warm and tender heart.
