Third most talented artist in family of three. Look for Chris's new novel, THE AMATEUR, on August 4.

It was 3 years ago today that Azerbaijan ruthlessly attacked Artsakh and ethnically cleansed it of the 120,000 Armenians who lived there. The only Armenians there now on this ancestral Armenian land are the Artsakh government leaders and Armenian soldiers held illegally in jail.

When we’re talking about Lake Ontario or the Reflecting Pool, that means we’re not talking about:
- Inflation
- Iran
- Climate change
- The threat from AI
- Ukraine
- Gaza
- The Epstein files
- The deficit
- Putin
- Voter suppression
- Gun control
- or the things that matter

Can Vermont join the European Union? Maybe an associate membership? (Asking for a friend.)

Inflation is a beast. But THE AMATEUR is 50% off right now at Amazon! (“It’s not hoarding, if it’s books.”)

Booksellers like Jenn are remarkable people: it’s not merely that they read, but they share that love daily and encourage others to read, too. And these days, they are also standing with librarians to protect our right to read. Thank you, Jenn, @BNBuzz and all booksellers.

Near Saratoga Springs? Join meJoe Donahue of WAMC Northeast Public Radio at the Universal Preservation Hall (main stage), 25 Washington Street on 10/3 at 10 am. We’ll be discussing THE AMATEUR, including the autobiography in the novel. I really did set a door on fire in college.

[Chris Bohjalian @ChrisBohjalian]

Here at @PhoenixBooksVT — a big week for new books. How many have you read?⬇️

[Chris Bohjalian @ChrisBohjalian]

Two new books I loved.

[Chris Bohjalian @ChrisBohjalian]

@julieinjax Thanks!

[Chris Bohjalian @ChrisBohjalian]

I snuck these 5 autobiographical tidbits into THE AMATEUR.
1. A writing professor in college tokd me to “be a banker”
2. I set a door on fire in college
3. I was a golf caddy
4. My parents bragged their monthly liquor bill was bigger than the mortgage
5. I could do the hustle

[Chris Bohjalian @ChrisBohjalian]

@julieinjax Oh, thank YOU!

[Chris Bohjalian @ChrisBohjalian]

@dennisdwoods121 Oh, thank you so much, Dennis. Very grateful.

[Chris Bohjalian @ChrisBohjalian]

@AnnBohjalian It really is.

[Chris Bohjalian @ChrisBohjalian]

Today we said good-bye to this beloved old girl. She lived 24 years. She was adopted by my Park Avenue mother-in-law in 2002 and lived with her until she died in 2011. Then Velvet joined us. Because she was my lovely bride’s mother’s cat before she was ours, her passing is hard.

[Chris Bohjalian @ChrisBohjalian]

@LouDPhillips Thank you, my comforter-in-chief. I know you all have been there. So, extra grateful for your kind words.

[Chris Bohjalian @ChrisBohjalian]

Pup on a mission.
