“Reading Mennonite Writing is an exciting, daring book that anyone interested in North American literary studies should read.” —Daniel Shank Cruz Ancillary Review of Books “This book establishes Zacharias’s position as the next generation’s leader in the field, even as it recognizes his predecessors.” —Julia Spicher Kasdorf The Mennonite Quarterly Review “It is a distinct privilege to read Zacharias’s opening of the bibliographic and encyclopedic vision of Mennonite/s writing, and a wonderful experience to follow his reader’s eye across time and texts to his conclusion that the small conversation on Mennonite literature has something to say to the larger world of literary criticism.” —Maxwell Kennel Reading Religion “Robert Zacharias demonstrates a truly impressive knowledge of the history of Mennonite publishing and reception. Extremely well read in a wide variety of Mennonite literary genres—what he terms a minor literature—he does valuable work in positioning this literature as fully engaged with transnational concerns and in attending to forgotten or neglected works within the field, while simultaneously positioning them alongside better- or well-known texts.” —Grace Kehler, McMaster University
