NEW YORK (A.W.)-From July 8-26, New York Times best-selling author
Chris Bohjalian will be on tour to promote his latest novel, The
Light in the Ruins. On Fri., July 19, Bohjalian will be at the AGBU
Headquarters in New York, and later at the Hovnanian School in New
Jersey, to discuss his book and his recent trip to Historic Armenia.
'The Light in the Ruins' comes out on July 9.
"I am really looking forward to returning to the Hovnanian School in
New Jersey and the AGBU in Manhattan," Bohjalian told the Armenian
Weekly.
"Hamazkayin, the AGBU, and Hovnanian have been breathtakingly
supportive of my work and I am grateful beyond words. And these events
will be interesting because I will discussing both my new book, The
Light in the Ruins, and my journey this spring to Historic Armenia."
Bohjalian's first event of the day will be held at 1 p.m. at the AGBU

In May, following a presentation in Istanbul with Armenian Weekly
Editor Khatchig Mouradian about his 2012 novel The Sandcastle Girls,
Bohjalian made a 10-day visit to historic Armenia. His articles on
the trip appeared in The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, and The
Burlington Free Press.
The Light in the Ruins, set in war-ravaged Tuscany, is a spellbinding
novel of love, despair, and revenge. In a starred review of The Light
in the Ruin in Booklist, Donna Seaman writes, "Mastering matters subtle
and grotesque, Bohjalian combines intricate plotting and bewitching
sensuality with historical insight and a profound sense of place to
create an exceptional work of suspense rooted in the tragic aberrations
of war."
Bohjalian's book tour will take him to New York, New Jersey, Kansas,
North Carolina, Minnesota, Ohio, Washington, Oregon, California,
Colorado, New Hampshire, and Vermont. For more information, go to
