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
