A Conversation with Chris Bohjalian about "Secrets of Eden"

It is such a pleasure to post my second interview with Chris Bohjalian, because he was one of our first guests last spring when The Book Studio launched. It's a new year, and Bohjalian has a new and very different book out from last year's World War II-Europe "Skeletons at the Feast:" "Secrets of Eden" is set in the author's home state of Vermont, and it concerns issues at once contemporary and ageless: The role of the clergy, hopes for our children, and the loss of innocence that accompanies great and terrible knowledge. 

Serious stuff. However, Chris Bohjalian also has a great sense of humor -- so please watch for his "alternate" book title...
