Critics Review
“Chris Bohjalian is a terrific columnist—thoughtful and thought-provoking. Just like me! No, really, this guy is good.” —Dave Barry
“[Bohjalian] is writing about one of the most important issues in America today—how do we retain our sense of community… . Gentle … sensitive …heart-warming.” —Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
“These essays carry a community connection and a humble grace. When words read this easily, you know they also carry a lot of work. Bohjalian is a reliable guide, moving from pastures to town steeple to the edge of the playground.” —Boston Globe
“Whether you’re aching to escape the urban grind or yearning to have your small-town experience reflected back at you, you’ll do well to pick up Idyll Banter.” —Elle
