Things in Ditches Author: Jimmy Olsen Olsen writes a mean, lean flying machine of a novel, with characters that stumble, bumble and philosophize as they search out their good and base thoughts, feelings and actions. Jimmy Olsen twangs his way in and out of Anne Tyler characters, Carl Hiaasen twists, and The Garden of Good and Evil suspense, and yet in every way his originality is his own. An absolute phenomenon, Things in Ditches held me in thrall as Olsen’s main character, Dutch ... continue reading...

DVD Reviews: On the Road
On The Road There are very few works of 20th-century American literature that can be called indispensable to our understanding of our culture. And one of these few is Jack Kerouac's On the Road.
