Praise for Where the Wind Blew
“This blistering, fast-paced tale of a man whose radical past catches up with him…cross-examines our culture, then and now.”
—Chronogram
“WHERE THE WIND BLEW is a story of the past and an allegory of the present.... Bob Sommer hears the music and voices of the past and gives you what America has become today.”
—Mason Williams (of “Classical Gas” fame)
“I found WHERE THE WIND BLEW engrossing and heartfelt…. Emotionally taut and historically intriguing, this novel explores the psyche of a man whose past finally catches him. Although set in the past, its themes transcend time.”

“I had a hard time putting WHERE THE WIND BLEW down.”

—Whistling Shade
"I was 18 when the Vietnam War started, and the author does a wonderful job of creating a sense of time and place that brought back my memories of those days."
