Carl asked Chris Bohjalian:

Not a question--just a thank you. I've greatly enjoyed every book of yours that I've read, but The Guest Room was special. Oh, looks like I have to end with a question mark to post this, so . . . ?

Chris Bohjalian Thanks, Carl. I appreciate your kind words immensely. THE GUEST ROOM is one of my novels I am most proud of. I still think a lot about Richard and Kristin and Anahit/Alexandra. Fingers crossed my work never disappoints you.

When did you realize that you wanted to express your creativity and knowledge through writing? Was it encouraged by others? What creative expressions (e.g. art, dance, media, music) have you tried in the past, present or future to express your creativity through?

Angela asked Chris Bohjalian:

Reading "The Sleep Walker" & loving it. Early in the book when describing the mother's abandoned room, a book as "a beautiful black-and-silver doorstop of a novel about Marilyn Monroe, . . ." Were you referring to the novel by Joyce Carol Oates?

Janet Rose asked Chris Bohjalian:

I was wondering why there aren't more authors like you that can write a story ,touch your heart and keep you guessing on the outcome and have a very believable story. Jodi Piccoult, Anita Shreve are also authors I admire but it's very hard to find great writers like you. Do you have any recommendations on outstanding writer like you?
