Pleased to see I’ve read most of the novels on your reading list! Must be something to do with the fact I’ve been reading for as long as you have! I’ve taken note of the few I’m missing. Loved both “Rules” and especially “A Gentleman in Moscow”. You’ve created such a lovable and inspiring character with Count Rostov. Are we to suppose your character is a descendant of Count Nikolai Ilyich from War & Peace? :-)

Amor Towles:
Hello Amor, absolutely loved reading your book "Gentleman in Moscow"- so much so that every time I restricted myself to read only a certain number of pages each day. Your use of language and describing certain feelings were just brilliant. I recently saw that you actually had a layout of the story already when you had your idea, I am curious as to know what that initial layout looked like and how did you structure it?

Amor Towles:
I loved "Eve in Hollywood" in "Table For Two," but I never read the original novella (and haven't been able to find it). I know that the new version is more than twice as long as the original, but other than that I haven't been able to find out what the differences are. Was the 2013 version essentially part 1 of its 2023 counterpart? The entire story yet much more abridged? Or were there more substantial changes made?
