About the Book

For those who long to feel, to know, and to discover, these stories will connect you with the sincere struggles all people, including yourself, can go through when it comes to life, grief, dreaming, loneliness, connection, fear, and freedom.

How is childlike wonder maintained? What happens when we expect too much? Is it better to stay put, or to continue on an endless adventure? How can we truly be free?

These kinds of questions are at the heart of the 18 stories of The Windless Echo, which take a winding course through human dilemmas, hardship, and longing.

So delve deep into a territory of thought and feeling that you might normally try to avoid, but that is sometimes an inevitable reality we must face.

Just remember: resolution, and peace, can be found in the most unexpected of places.

If you are one who appreciates feeling deeply and going on flowing journeys through mind and emotion, The Windless Echo may help you on your journey.

Reviews (more can be found at www.goodreads.com/book/show/33982369-the-windless-echo):

"Oliver Kaufman has done a wonderful job with this collection.

From the characterization in each, to the emotions evoked, to the way they enlightened the reader, I think that every moving part to these novels really came together and made this collection unforgettable.

Each of these were well balanced. The pacing and flow are spot on and I was thoroughly engaged throughout each of them."

-Bailey Ember (Texas Book Nook)

"Oliver Kaufman does a great job of writing characters who seem real and relatable without making them have a barrage of issues to deal with.

I felt myself loving each of these short stories for different reasons. They are not even remotely similar, but you can tell they have been written by the same author."

-Gina Stamper (Novel News Network)

"Wow ok, this was a great book with very deep and well thought topics, that at some part became a bit difficult for me to follow, not because I was not interested, but due to the high level of expressions he used and words choice. Regardless it was very much appreciated by me as this is great way to learn new vocabulary and see how beautifully complex a language could be when written in such a poetic way I would say.

I totally admired the fact that Oliver actually interacted with the reader in a very witty way it made me feel like he wrote some of the stories for me especially.

...

If you are looking for something more deep with substance that will thought provoke you this is the best choice to go with."
