Full bibliography

The article focuses on the life and works of A.E. Johann, a Winnipeg Communist and a labourer on farms in northern British Columbia. He wrote a total of 18 volumes of both fiction and nonfiction along with numerous articles for newspapers and magazines in Germany. His nonfictional books were commonly anecdotal in form and one volume can plausibly claim to be at least a semi-scholarly study of its subject. It notes that the success of his initial volume in Canada prompted his publisher to finance his travels generously, which he therefore undertook driving an almost new Ford purchased when he arrived in Montreal. Moreover, Johann appears to have been a generally trustworthy chronicler of the Canadian situation.
