Where the Wind Dreams of Staying is a personal memoir told through interwoven essays. In the tradition of environmental literature, Dieterle details his experiences in southeastern Washington, Utah, Nevada, Iowa, California, and Airzona. His restless search for purpose, identity, and place moves through cycles of success and failure, love and loss. He captures the emotional storms of a boy, and then a man, on a restless search for meaning in a place, or for a place with meaning. Dieterle?s journey leads from the plateau of eastern Washington through the landscapes of seven states, ending in the shadow of the San Francisco peaks in northern Arizona. Readers will find rich, detailed explorations of western landscapes balanced with stories of personal reflection, determination, doubt, and fulfillment.

In his works, Hopper poetically expressed the solitude of man confronted to the American way of life as it developed in the 1920s.Inspired by the movies and particularly by the various camera angles and attitudes of characters, his paintings expose the alienation of mass culture.Created using cold colours and inhabited by anonymous characters, Hopper's paintings also symbolically reflect the Great Depression.
