Chris Bohjalian has written 25 novels throughout his career, including The Flight Attendant, Midwives and The Sandcastle Girls. His newest is titled The Amateur and it draws from a few aspects from his own life, particularly his experience working as a caddy in high school. Unlike his own life though, The Amateur follows the days and years after a promising young golfer kills a caddy in a freak accident. Chris Bohjalian and I recently spoke about this amateur golfer and the ramifications on her life. Here’s our conversation.
The Amateur by Chris Bohjalian was published by Doubleday.
