Event Details

Join critically-acclaimed novelist and “master of literary suspense,” Chris Bohjalian, as he closes out the season with a discussion on his life, work, and how storytelling can change the world.

The event will be on Thursday, May 21, at 7:30 PM (doors at 6:30 PM) at The Egyptian Theatre in Boise (700 W. Main Street, Boise, ID 83702).

This event is part of The Cabin’s 2025-26 Readings & Conversations series.

About the Author

Chris Bohjalian is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of more than two dozen books. His novels include Midwives (an Oprah’s Book Club selection), The Sandcastle Girls, Hour of the Witch, The Lioness, and The Flight Attendant, adapted into a celebrated series on HBO. Dubbed “one of our finest storytellers” by The Boston Globe, Bohjalian uses his gripping fiction to explore contemporary social issues, including domestic violence, climate change, genocide, homelessness, and human trafficking. His 25th book, The Jackal’s Mistress, is a heart-stopping work of historical fiction based on a largely unknown piece of American Civil War history.
