Robert M Josephs asked Amor Towles:

When describing your books to someone who hasn't read one, I tell them to think of a time when you have heard someone make a statement and said, "I don't think I ever heard that said better." Now imagine reading a book where every sentence is worded in just such a way. Is that natural for you, or do you have to work and re-work the phrasing? I'm trying to write in the same way, but it isn't easy.

Amor Towles Robert, I recommend you visit amortowles.com to read one of my Q&A;s; or watch one of my speeches where I speak about my process like this one:
