This is excerpted from a review in Peace Corps Writers And Readers by Kathleen Coskran:
"Flynn offers a rare breadth of experience –around the world and at home....The longest story in the collection, “A Question for the Devil's Rope,” narrated by a Hmong-American artist on a road trip with her boyfriend, opens with her question, “Is Freedom Possible.”
"As they drive west from Virginia, heading for Taos, the question looms at every stop, a bit like a mirage that pulls you relentlessly forward towards a place you can never reach — and the question is still hanging out there at the end.
"Many of the stories are like this — a movement with uncertain resolution — a lot like life, which may be the point of Off to the Next Wherever."

And excerpted from a review by Ben Sloan in Rain Taxi Review Of Books:
"The panoramic range of characters and locations in this book is breathtaking…Not lost in this grand sweep is the need to anchor experience in concrete detail…."
