Lovers of literacy should put an ear to the radio today, Aug. 23 at 2:30 p.m., for KCRW’s program Bookworm. Hosted by Michael Silverblatt, Bookworm this week features Michael Ondaatje’s novel “Divisadero.” The show explores the mysterious convergences in this novel — convergences that link a family ranch in contemporary California with the life and works of a forgotten French poet and novelist. KCRW, which broadcasts from Santa Monica College, can be found at 89.9 FM or streaming online at kcrw.com.
