Author Chris Bohjalian and "The Double Bind"

By Liz Bulkley on Monday, April 16, 2007.

Author Chris Bohjalian is perhaps best known for his novel "Midwives." His new book "The Double Bind" is based on the life of a homeless man in Vermont who left behind a legacy of museum-quality photographs of American musicians and artists. Bohjalian's book combines that man's life with the fictitious characters in the F. Scott Fiztgerald novel The Great Gatsby. We'll talk with Chris about the reality of homelessness, and the imaginary reality of Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan's legacy.
