Jim sat in his room in the evening, alone. He closed the book that had held him captive for four hours, releasing a deep breath. the next morning he began to read the book again. This time he copied paragraphs he liked into a spiral notebook that he’d started to carry around with him. The book was Jack Kerouac’s novel about the Beat Generation, On the Road. – Jerry Hopkins and Danny Sugarman, No One Here Gets Out Alive

Some great photos of Jim, the top one in a so-called Vyshivanka shirt, worn usually by Ukrainians. I've never seen that one before. An enigma when he lived and died.
