Idyll Banter by Chris Bohjalian

Years ago, Chris Bohjalian and his wife traded their Brooklyn co-op for a century-old Victorian house in Lincoln, Vermont (population 975). Bohjalian, a bestselling novelist, began chronicling life in that gloriously quirky little village with a wide variety of magazine essays and his newspaper column, Idyll Banter. These pieces, written over the course of twelve years, are honest, funny, and deeply affecting reflections on the unique idiosyncrasies of small-town life (annual outhouse races) and the universal experiences (our hunger for neighborliness) that unite us all.

Chris Bohjalian is the highly praised author of sixteen books, including The Sandcastle Girls, Skeletons at the Feast, The Double Bind, and Midwifery, which were all New York Times bestsellers. Midwives was a number one New York Times bestseller and an Oprah's Book Club selection. His work has been translated into over twenty-five languages, and three of his novels (Secrets of Eden, Midwifery, and Beyond the Bleachers) have been made into films. With his wife and daughter, he lives in Vermont. Chris Bohjalian can be found on the web at www.chrisbohjalian.com and on Facebook.
