Hi. Just finished A Gentleman in Moscow. I wasn't that interested in reading it until I saw you interviewed by Elisa Jaffe on Well Read. I am so glad that I read it, for I thoroughly enjoyed it. One question I have is why you chose to title each chapter with a word beginning with the letter a. Was there some meaning in this, or was it just an alliterative exercise or challenge?

Hi Amor, I just finished A Gentleman in Moscow and all I can say is...I hardly know what to say except that I absolutely LOVED it. I was swept away and was right there at the hotel Metropol. The characters became my good friends and my best friend of course, was our good Count. I didn't want the book to end and will have to settle for reading it again. Well done and thank you. Are you glad you changed careers?

Amor Towles:
I have 2 parts left of your book and I can't bear to leave it. I am completely enamoured of the wonderful count and his marvellous behaviour. It is a book that makes us want to be better versions of ourselves. Were you really in investment banking? Perhaps you could give some lessons in business schools and Ivy league colleges to people of privilege as to how to wear their privilege with humility and dignity?
