Literary Nonfiction. Poetry. Fiction. Within the pages of OFF BOULDER HIGHWAY--a hybrid work of poetry; memoir; and surrealistic prose--we encounter Vegas landmarks that act as characters; Reagan era disasters; the loss of a father. Jennifer Battisti--an '80s latchkey kid; now mother--transforms narrative into a pop-culture artifact filled with people as beautiful as they are broken; unexpected heroes like L.L. Cool J and Hulk Hogan; trauma; addiction; disaster; and ritualistic paths to redemption.
