Bill Nemmers' first novel, Crude, examined the political and financial absurdities of North Dakota's recent oil drilling frenzy. This book, Mothers Hurling Bricks, examines a very different absurdity-the U.S. Army's Cold War occupation of West Germany. The Heidelberg-based expatriate Czech rock band, The Mothers Hurling Bricks, honors the Prague women who, in a frustrated act of violence, hurled loosened paving bricks back at Soviet tanks which were rumbling through Prague's streets on August 10, 1968. The author, a U.S. soldier in Heidelberg, knew the band members, and knew the band's name honored all mothers-his own certainly included-who at times must need to hurl things at machines to protest the absurdity of modern mechanized warfare.

Nemmers, Bill: - Bill Nemmers spent eighteen months from 1967 to1969 in the U.S. Army in Heidelberg, West Germany, analyzing the progress of construction projects undertaken to upgrade certain structures related to the Army's nuclear missile defense system. After discharge, he spent several years as an architect in Boston before opening his own practice in Maine. For the last decade, he has been writing in St. Paul. His novel Crude, set in North Dakota, was published in March 2016. He is currently working on a sequel to Crude, and a nonfiction work examining Portugal's Prince Henry the Navigator's influence on 15th and 16th century Cosmology and Architecture.
