Before You Know Kindness by Chris Bohjalian. Publication Date: October 5, ; Genres: Fiction, Literary Fiction; Hardcover: pages; Publisher: Shaye Areheart Books; ISBN ; ISBN “Chris Bohjalian’s magnificent new novel, Before You Know Kindness, is the best work of fiction I’ve read about an American family since Amy Tan’s The Joy Luck Club. It is one of the funniest, best-written, most compassionate, most engaging, and flat-out most enjoyable novels I’ve ever read.”—Howard Frank Mosher, winner of the New England Book Award for A Stranger in the Kingdom.
