Sharon Banitt asked Chris Bohjalian:

I've read several of your books and enjoyed them. How do you pick themes for your books?

Chris Bohjalian It's usually (though not always) a subject I know little about, but I believe is incredibly interesting. It has to be a topic that I believe will hold my interest for a year or two of my life.

Not a question-just a thank you.... I've greatly enjoyed every book of yours that I've read, but The Flight Attendant and The Double Bind were special. What was your impetus behind The Double Bind? -Marc

Laura asked Chris Bohjalian:

Hi, Chris. I've just finished The Buffalo Soldier, the first of your books that I've read. I loved it and to my surprise, given other art and the news, found it sunny. This sunniness seems to be located for me in the kindnesses of characters, your language (I wish there were room for examples), and also perhaps in the lack of ongoing vitriol between Terry and Laura. Was it your intention to create sunniness?

A Goodreads user asked Chris Bohjalian:

I recently finished listening to the Guest Room. It opened my eyes to the world of sex slavery. When you just see the words in writing it doesn't have the impact as actually giving the girls names and making them real people with a real life history. You have been giving names and faces to the suffering that the Armenian people have gone through. Does it help you to bring this to the world?
