Bohjalian talks style, new novel Authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 17th book to hit shelves in July By  ZACH  DESPART LINCOLN  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Chris  Bohjalian  thrives  on  dread.

This  isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  to  say  the  Lincoln  au-­ thor,  whose  17th  novel,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Close  Your  Eyes,  Hold  Hands,â&#x20AC;?  will  debut  next  week,  harbors  a  morbid  fascination  with  dread  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  in  fact,  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  an  affable  guy.

But  he  relies  on  it,  the  ever-­present  feeling  that  something  is  or  is  about  to  be  terribly  wrong,  to  drive  the  ac-­ tion  in  his  novels  and  keep  readers  turning  pages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going  back  to  my  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Midwives,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;  P\ ÂżIWK QRYHO , KDG ÂżJXUHG VRPH-­ thing  out  about  dread,â&#x20AC;?  Bohjalian  said  during  an  interview  at  his  home.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;My  work  is  at  its  best  when  it  ratch-­ ets  up  dread.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Close  Your  Eyes,  Hold  Handsâ&#x20AC;?  is  no  different.  In  it,  Bohjalian  tells  the  story  of  Emily  Shepard,  a  16-­year-­ old  girl  rendered  homeless  and  or-­ phaned  after  a  nuclear  disaster  near  her  home  in  the  Northeast  Kingdom.  The  novel,  told  from  Emilyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  point  of  view,  recounts  how  her  life  became  unraveled  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  how  she  went  from  liv-­ ing  in  a  middle-­class  suburban  home  to  marauding  the  streets  of  Burling-­ ton,  using  an  alias  and  fearing  for  her  safety.

A  sense  of  dread  pervades  ev-­ ery  facet  of  Emilyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  life,  and  dogs  the  reader  through  every  chapter.  Bohjalian  said  he  sought  to  create  this  perpetual  sense  of  uneasiness,  though  he  said  it  is  hardly  a  strategy  unique  to  himself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Breaking  Bad,â&#x20AC;?  whether  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  â&#x20AC;&#x153;True  Blood,â&#x20AC;?  whether  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fargo,â&#x20AC;?  we  love  dread,  and  we  still  love  that  Charles  Dickensian  no-­ tion  of  the  cliffhanger,â&#x20AC;?  Bohjalian  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  hope  that  my  books,  when  they  work,  give  you  a  combination  of  both.â&#x20AC;?

THE  VETERAN  AUTHOR Bohjalian  sat  down  with  the  Inde-­ pendent  to  talk  about  his  new  book  on  a  summer  afternoon  at  his  19th-­ century  farmhouse  in  Lincoln.  Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  53  now,  but  still  holds  on  to  some  vestiges  of  youth  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  along  with  a  neatly-­pressed  black  shirt  tucked  into  jeans,  Bohjalian  wore  a  pair  of  multi-­ colored  Chuck  Taylors.

He  speaks  in  a  measured  cadence,  choosing  his  words  carefully  and  de-­ livering  them  with  perfect  diction;Íž  listening  to  Bohjalian  is  much  like  reading  his  prose.  He  exudes  an  un-­ PLVWDNDEOH FRQÂżGHQFH ZKHQ WDONLQJ about  his  work,  and  why  wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Â

CHRIS   BOHJALIAN he?  His  novels  have  been  translated  into  more  than  25  languages  and  DGDSWHG LQWR WKUHH ÂżOPV But  in  the  early  years  of  his  writ-­ ing  career,  success  eluded  Bohjalian.  In  the  late  1980s  he  amassed  250  re-­ jection  slips  for  short  stories  he  sub-­ mitted  to  publications  like  Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Magazine  and  The  Atlantic,  before  publishing  a  short  story  in  Cosmo-­ politan  (back  when  the  magazine  VWLOO SULQWHG ÂżFWLRQ

7KHQ LQ KH SXEOLVKHG KLV ÂżUVW novel,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;A  Killing  in  the  Real  World.â&#x20AC;?  Again,  success  proved  to  be  out  of  KLV UHDFK ² WKH ERRN ZDV D Ă&#x20AC;RS â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  did  really  badly,  thank  good-­ ness,  because  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  terrible  book,â&#x20AC;?  Bohjalian  said  candidly.

A  failed  debut  is  often  a  death  sen-­ tence  for  a  new  author,  but  Bohjalian  convinced  another  publisher  to  take  a  chance  on  him.

This  time,  it  paid  off  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  1991â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hangmanâ&#x20AC;?  was  followed  by  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Past  the  Bleachersâ&#x20AC;?  the  following  year  and  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Water  Witchesâ&#x20AC;?  in  1995.  Mid-­ wives,  published  in  1997,  became  Bohjalianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  greatest  success  to  date,  becoming  a  New  York  Times  best-­ seller  after  it  was  selected  by  Oprah  Winfrey  for  her  book  club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  Law  of  Similarsâ&#x20AC;?  (1999)  and  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  Double  Bindâ&#x20AC;?  (2007)  also  be-­ came  New  York  Times  bestsellers.

Despite  his  success,  Bohjalian  shows  no  signs  of  slowing  down.  Since  his  debut,  no  more  than  three  years  have  passed  between  novels,  and  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  published  a  book  in  each  of  WKH ODVW ÂżYH \HDUV He  began  writing  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Close  Your  Eyes,  Hold  Handsâ&#x20AC;?  in  December  2012.  Bohjalian  said  the  inspiration  for  the  novel  came  out  of  a  conversa-­ tion  he  had  with  Annie  Ramniceanu  of  Spectrum  Youth  and  Family  Ser-­ vices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Annie  was  just  telling  me  how  some  of  the  kids  would  occasionally  build  igloos  made  of  trash  bags  and  broken  leaves  down  at  the  Burlington  waterfront,â&#x20AC;?  Bohjalian  recalled.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  knew  instantly  that  I  wanted  to  write  a  novel  narrated  by  a  young  adult  living  in  an  igloo  by  the  waterfront,  trying  desperately  to  keep  it  together.â&#x20AC;?

The  novel  begins  with  16-­year-­old  Emily  Shepard  doing  precisely  that,  before  jumping  back  to  tell  the  story  of  how  she  ended  up  there.  Bohjalian  said  this  narrative  structure  is  one  that  he  employs  in  many  of  his  novels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My  works  begin,  invariably,  with  D SURORJXH VRPHWKLQJ KRUULÂżF ´ Bohjalian  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;And  then  thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  Ă&#x20AC;DVKEDFN VR WKH QRYHO FDQ SURFHHG apace.â&#x20AC;?

Bohjalian  credited  his  daughter  for  much  of  Emilyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  contemporary  lexi-­ con.  When  his  searches  for  teenage  vernacular  on  Urban  Dictionary  were  unsuccessful,  he  turned  to  Grace  for  help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  think  a  day  went  by  I  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  send  her  a  text  saying  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I  need  some  appropriate,  hip  synonyms  for  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hookup,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;  or  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wasted,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;  or  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;angry,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?  Bohjalian  said.

Bohjalian  attributed  this  to  Ver-­ montâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  small  scale,  where  townspeo-­ ple  share  a  greater  sense  of  intimacy  than  people  in  large  cities.  He  added  that  he  is  fascinated  with  Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  progressive  streak,  and  how  the  state  has  lead  the  nation  in  several  social  movements,  such  as  same-­sex  mar-­ riage  and  environmental  issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  always,  in  really  inter-­ esting  ways,  at  the  front  of  cultural  change,  and  I  love  that  as  a  novelist,â&#x20AC;?  Bohjalian  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;You  can  see  that  in  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Close  Your  Eyes,  Hold  Hands.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

The  novel  takes  place  Burlington  and  the  Northeast  Kingdom.  Bo-­ hjalian  carefully  weaves  real  places  DQG ORFDWLRQV ZLWK ÂżFWLWLRXV RQHV He  said  this  allows  him  to  provide  readers  with  a  sense  of  familiarity  of  place,  without  being  tied  to  every  detail  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  if  he  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  want  a  gas  sta-­ tion  on  the  corner,  it  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  to  be  there.

The  Kingdom  town  of  Redding-­ WRQ IRU H[DPSOH LV ÂżFWLRQDO ZKLOH many  places  in  Burlington  are  real.  Bohjalian  said  he  relies  on  this  blend  RI UHDOLW\ DQG ÂżFWLRQ WR FUHDWH D VHQVH of  setting  in  much  of  his  work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In  Burlington,  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  little  different  because  on  the  one  hand,  I  need  to  have  the  gas  stations  where  they  need  to  be,  and  need  to  have  the  churches  where  I  need  the  churches  to  be,â&#x20AC;?  Bo-­ hjalian  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;But  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  so  recognizable Â

to  so  many  people  that  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  fun  to  drop  in  a  real  place,  like  Muddy  Waters  or  Leunigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.â&#x20AC;?

But  while  he  used  those  familiar  landmarks  to  anchor  readers  in  the  heart  of  Burlington,  Bohjalian  played  more  freely  with  other  locations  in  WKH FLW\ 6HYHUDO VFHQHV IHDWXUH D ÂżF-­ tional  homeless  shelter  for  teens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If  you  look  at  the  shelter,  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  so  clear  that  I  was  inspired  by  Spec-­ trum  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  located  on  the  north  end  of  Church  Street,â&#x20AC;?  Bohjalian  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  want  to  be  wed  to  the  ex-­ act,  where-­the-­furniture-­is  details.  I  ZDQWHG D ÂżFWLRQDO ZRUOG IRU (PLO\ ´ A  DYSTOPIAN  NOVEL?

Once  Bohjalian  decided  that  since  a  nuclear  meltdown  would  be  the  cause  of  Emilyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  homelessness  and  the  fact  that  sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  an  orphan,  he  knew  he  needed  to  study  up  on  nuclear  power.  He  enlisted  the  help  of  Ar-­ nie  and  Maggie  Gunderson  of  Fair  Winds  Energy  in  Burlington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They  taught  me  a  lot  about  nucle-­ ar  power,  and  read  the  manuscript  for  me,â&#x20AC;?  Bohjalian  said.  While  the  novel  takes  place  in  the  wake  of  a  nuclear  disaster,  Bohjalian  (See  Bohjalian,  Page  3A)

Addison  plan  advances;Íž  following  revision  will  focus  on  lot  sizes By  ANDY  KIRKALDY ADDISON  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  The  Addison  Plan-­ ning  Commission  on  Monday  ap-­ proved  a  town  plan  update  and  voted  to  send  it  to  the  town  selectboard  for  its  approval.  Planning  board  chair-­ man  Frank  Galgano  told  a  half-­doz-­ en  residents  at  a  public  hearing  that  the  moves  would  allow  the  town  to  move  to  adopt  new  zoning  laws  that  have  been  on  hold  for  six  months.

The  new  plan  does  not,  how-­ ever,  make  changes  to  zoning  laws  some  residents  and  the  selectboard  have  suggested.  Most  discussion  at  Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  hearing  at  the  Addison  ¿UHKRXVH IRFXVHG RQ WKRVH LVVXHV VSHFLÂżFDOO\ RQ HDVLQJ ORW VL]H DQG road-­frontage  requirements.  But  Galgano  said  as  soon  as  the  Addison  Town  Plan  update  is  in  place  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  probably  by  early  August  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  that  a  new  process  including  public  hearings  and  surveys  will  start  that  could  result  in  a  rewrite  of  those  plan  provisions,  possibly  even  by  the  end  of  2014.  Once  the  plan  is  changed, Â

Several  residents  on  Monday,  in-­ cluding  Grandey  Roadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Alyce  Lane,  echoed  the  selectboard  in  suggesting  such  changes  could  add  to  the  tax  base  and  encourage  families  to  settle  in  Addison. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without  being  able  to  develop,  we  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  add  to  the  tax  base,â&#x20AC;?  Lane  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  am  for  opening  it  up  a  little  bit,â&#x20AC;?  adding,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  going  to  help  the  taxpayers.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  going  to  help  the  school.â&#x20AC;?

Resident  and  Addison  Develop-­ ment  Review  Board  Chairman  John  Spencer  said  it  would  not  necessar-­ ily  be  desirable  to  change  the  regula-­

tions  for  the  entire  LDR/A  zone.  He  suggested  instead  carving  out  new  zones  or  easing  the  laws  in  oth-­ er  zones,  possibly  in  the  Shoreland  Recreation  district  that  runs  near  the  lake  in  the  southwest  corner  of  town  and  has  some  favorable  soils.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  time  for  Addison  to  have  some  other  districts,â&#x20AC;?  Spencer  said.  Galgano  said  planners  would  look  at  all  the  options  and  â&#x20AC;&#x153;see  if  there  is  any  way  we  can  make  a  reasonable  adjustment,â&#x20AC;?  including  looking  at  ³VSHFLÂżF FKDQJHV IRU VSHFLÂżF DUHDV only,  but  not  the  entire  district.â&#x20AC;?

He  also  noted  that  planners  might  have  to  examine  regulations  in  the  densely  populated  Shoreland  Resi-­ dential  zone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  going  to  have  to  look  at  some  setback  requirements,â&#x20AC;?  Gal-­ gano  said.

Planners  said  repeatedly  they  will  make  no  changes  without  making  every  effort  to  engage  residents.  Galgano  said  the  commission  will  hold  several  meetings  on  a  more  complete  plan  rewrite  once  the  cur-­ rent  update  is  in  place.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  simply  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  want  to  make  a  precipitated  decision,â&#x20AC;?  Galgano  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;This  is  the  kind  of  discussion  we  need.â&#x20AC;?

miles  almost  every  day,  and  followed  that  with  a  swim  in  Lake  Dunmore.  He  gardened  with  great  energy  and  persistence,  and  his  gardens  produced  tomatoes,  squash,  beans,  peas,  pars-­ nips,  asparagus,  rhubarb,  strawber-­ ries,  lettuce,  corn  and  berries,  not  to  mention  the  weeds  he  pulled  every  day.  He  kept  Helen  busy,  canning  and  freezing  vegetables.  Jack  did  not  like  to  rest  until  the  sun  set.  Jack  was  an  avid  traveler.  For  over  20  years,  he  made  a  yearly  trip  to  Austria  to  ski.  With  Helen  he  visited  China,  Russia,  England,  France,  Germany,  Norway,  Finland  and  Africa.  With  his  family,  he  camped  across  the  United  States  and  back-­ packed  in  the  Rockies,  the  Sierra  Nevada,  and  the  Cascades.  He  was  a  keen  and  opinionated  observer  of  politics  and  supporter  of  the  Democratic  Party.  He  never  held  back  his  opinions!  He  was  a  very  generous  supporter  of  Middlebury  College.  Until  the  very  end  of  his  life,  he  was  an  avid  reader  of  history,  geology,  exploration,  politics  and  mountaineering.  Jack  also  loved  learning  from  people  around  him.  Most  importantly,  he  was  kind  and  respectful  to  the  people  he  met,  the  people  who  cared  for  him  at  the  Lodge,  and  his  family  and  friends.

Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  qualities  of  observation,  astuteness,  persistence,  discipline,  hard  work  and  concern  for  and  love  of  his  family  and  friends  are  gifts  he  left  for  his  children  and  grandchil-­ dren.  Jack  was  predeceased  by  his  wife,  Helen  West  Burbank,  in  2008.  His  survivors  include  his  children  and Â

Goodspeed  said  she  is  happy  with  the  arrangement,  most  of  which  was  worked  out  before  they  sat  down  in  the  same  room  and  said  hello  face  to  face.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  only  met  Andy  about  a  month  ago,  and  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  been  very,  very  gener-­ ous  to  me,â&#x20AC;?  she  said. *RRGVSHHG LV FRQÂżGHQW LQ KHU ability  to  make  the  venture  work  by  adding  groceries  and  other  goods  to  meet  customer  demand,  expanding  deli  offerings,  running  sales,  and  pricing  competitively. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  take  out  any  loans.  I  cashed  in  my  401K  and  all  my  stocks  and  bonds  to  do  this,â&#x20AC;?  Goodspeed  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  betting  on  myself.  Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  what  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  doing.  And  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  what  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  wanted  for  over  15  years,  to  own  my  own  place.â&#x20AC;?
