2024 Keynote: Chris Bohjalian
Bestselling novelist uses his hugely popular novels to explore compelling social and historical issues like human trafficking, domestic violence, and the Armenian genocide, as well as the more intimate challenges of marriage, parenting, and sexuality. In more than 20 books, most of which have been New York Times bestsellers, Bohjalian has cultivated a wide and devoted audience.
His breakout novel, Midwives, was a #1 New York Times bestseller and an Oprah鈥檚 Book Club selection. Instant New York Times bestseller The Flight Attendant was praised by USA Today as an 鈥渆xpertly turned thriller鈥n assured novel about reckoning not just with some ruthless bad guys, but private sadness as well.鈥 Bohjalian鈥檚 latest novel is the New York Times bestseller The Lioness, a blistering story of fame, race, love, and death set in a world on the cusp of great change.
鈥淎s much as I love writing (the verb), I probably love writing (the noun) even more. I doubt anyone becomes a serious novelist who doesn鈥檛 love reading: savoring paragraphs that precisely capture longing or dread or desire. Being riveted by a plot twist that is utterly surprising but, you realize, perfect, because it was inevitable.鈥 鈥Chris Bohjalian
