Gården er en fortælling om at udskifte parcelhuslivet med en tilværelse på landet – en tilværelse, der kom til at indebære store mængder af linolie, renoveringsarbejde og produktionen af naturvin. Forfatteren skildrer i denne erindringsbog, hvordan hun i 1990’erne forelskede sig i en gammel gård i Nordsjælland. Hun faldt så meget for stedet, at hun udskiftede det trygge parcelhus tæt på jobbet i København med livet i landsbyen. I bogen beretter hun om, hvordan gården blev sat i stand ved hjælp traditionelle metoder og materialer, der respekterede gårdens oprindelse, og de mange op- og nedture, der kan være i en sådan proces. Hun fortæller også om, hvordan hun kom i gang med at producere naturvin som en af de første i Danmark.Det er en beretning om at vælge et langsommere liv i tæt kontakt med naturen. Fortælleren drives af nostalgi og en romantisk tilgang til landsbylivet, hvilket smitter af på sproget. Tempoet er langsomt, og vi dykker ned i detaljer med renovering, linoliemaling og lampeskærme fra 50’erne. Fortællingen har en rustik charme, og langsommeligheden afspejler den livsstil, der skildres i bogen.Bogen henvender sig til samme publikum, der ser ”Bonderøven”, bager med egen surdej og fifler lidt med hjemmebryg. Forfatteren er meget vidende om de emner, hun beskæftiger med, og man bliver som læser klogere – og nysgerrig – på både nænsom restaurering, landbrugshistorie og dansk vinavl. Det er en fortælling, der henvender sig til alle, der nogle gange synes, at det moderne liv er for stresset, og som værdsætter bondegårdsferierne, hvor man lærer, hvor vores fødevarer virkelig kommer fra.

Of all the skills you might acquire in life, the ability to make a good cocktail will never be a waste of time. No lover will complain when you present them with a well-iced Negroni as they walk through your door;

Efter utallige opfordringer præsenterer digter, målmand og ølconnaisseur Jonas Okholm Jensen den lyriske hitliste Forsøg på en top 25 over øl, bestående af de 25 bedste øl, som han gladeligt er rendt panden imod på sin Øldysseé gennem livet. Forsøg på en top 25 over øler, udover at være en personlig velovervejet og rangeret oversigt, en skummende dannelsesrejse fyldt eksistentielle funderinger og spørgsmål til tilværelsens luner. Rejsen starter med en kasse heftige Bjørnebryg og ender med en Carlsberg på Storebæltsbroen, hvor tankerne kredser om den tragiske togulykke på selv samme bro: ”En øl til broen. Derfor det bider så varselsagtigt. Det er for absurd, at det var et øltog med tomme flasker, der var med i ulykken.”Præsenteret for både velbevandrede ølsmagere og amatørøldrikkere fremstår Forsøg på en top 25 over øli et poetisk og til tider klart sprog, af landets måske mest ledende skikkelse inden forøludforskning, som når en bustur gennem Brennerpasset med Fine Festival-øl lyder: ”Ved ikke hvad man skulle have gjort i den bus til Italien med ligalandsholdet, hvis ikke det var for den udslagsgivende kasse FF’ere. Nej, der var stillingen angst 0 - ånd 100. Turneringen var allerede vundet. Der var ikke mere at komme efter”.Jonas Okholm Jensen (f. 1980) debuterede i 2016 med prosasamlingen Så snart man åbner vinduet ud til den populære sol vælter årets første flue ind i rodet.Digtsamlingen var blandt andet nomineret til Bukdahls bet - Den smalle litteraturpris og er nu kommet i to oplag. Okholm Jensenopfulgte i 2018 med Jeg håber og tror at Twin Peaks vil samle os igen, der uden tvivl er en af de mest dybdegående undersøgelser af David Lynchs Twin Peaks, der foreligger på dansk. Okholm Jensen har de seneste år skabt sig selv et populært navn til oplæsningsarrangementer landet over og agerer derudover forsanger i bands som Spost og Easy Rider, der har et utal af koncerter og pladeudgivelser bag sig.

”Hvornår og hvor opstår øllet? Historikerne er ikke helt sikre. Men med nogenlunde sikkerhed kan det fastslås, at så længe mennesket har dyrket korn, har de også kendt til ølbrygning. Historisk set opereres der med to årstal. Det ene går på, hvornår vi regner med at den første ølbrygning fandt sted. Det andet er det fysiske bevis på, at nu var den i gang. Hvordan opstår så øllet? Sandsynligvis ved et tilfælde.”Øl har i hundredvis af år været en stor del af den danske kultur. I vikingetiden var det gudinden Freja, der vågede over øllet, og i den danske kirkes første officielle salmebog fra 1569 takkede man for øllet før det daglige brød. Ølentusiast og forfatter Allan Mylius Thomsen tager os med gennem det danske øls historie og viser os, hvor stor en rolle øllet har spillet for danskerne igennem århundrederne.Allan Mylius Thomsen (f. 1948) er dansk forfatter og byhistoriker og har udgivet en lang række bøger om Københavns historie. Oprindeligt er Allan Mylius Thomsen uddannet manuskriptforfatter fra Filmskolen, og han har siden hen lavet radio- og tv-udsendelser samt været guide på Dyrehavsbakken og på byvandringer i det historiske København.
