Chris Bohjalian is the author of over 20 books, but his latest novel “The Amateur” draws from his own experience working as a golf caddy.
The story follows Mira, an 18-year-old golf prodigy. One afternoon, while practicing at her prestigious country club, she hits a stray ball right into the temple of her classmate’s head, killing him almost instantly.
Where We Live host Catherine Shen recently hosted a conversation with Bohjalian at the Westport Library. They spoke about his new book, his writing routines and "exercising his demons" through writing this highly autobiographical novel.
