What happened to Eve in Hollywood? I've been trying to find a copy but it's not available through Amazon, my library or even Powell's books!
Amor Towles
When I finished writing RULES OF CIVILITY, I had no desire to follow the lives of Katey or Tinker further. Everything that you needed to know about those characters, I felt, was between the bindings of that book. What I did find myself wondering was what happened to Eve? So, to answer that question, I wrote a series of six interlinked short stories called EVE IN HOLLYWOOD, which some years ago I sent to readers on my distribution list, and which is now available for purchase on a limited basis.
Fans of RULES and A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW should be forewarned that these stories will not offer the same satisfactions as those novels. By definition and design they are more elliptical. What they do offer is a glimpse into my process. In these stories, hopefully, you will see how I begin to develop elements of time and place, character psychology, and narrative tone.
If interested, you may obtain a printed, bound and signed copy of EVE IN HOLLYWOOD by contacting one of my local independent booksellers in New York City: Shakespeare & Co. You can order the book from them either online (see the link below) or by calling the store at (212)772-3400.

Halfway thru the book, I went back to your bio because I was certain that you had to have been raised in Russia, or at least spent a lot of time there. It made me feel like I could understand a little better how people can live under such tyranny and still love their country and be happy. Have you spent time in Russia, or did you get all that just by studying history books?

I have been reading with great enjoyment all weekend. Even though I'm not finished, I can truly say, this is a thoroughly enjoyable book. One question comes to mind. I noted that the adolescent in the kitchen was named Ilya & the name of Audrey's son who was killed in the Battle of Berlin, was given the same first name. When there are so many first names to choose from, what made you decide on using the same name?
