I read Rules of Civility when it first came out and it is one of my favorite novels. Now, years later, I am listening to it on Libby, and am reminded what an incredible world you have created, what complex characters. There is not one misstep in this book and I thank-you for it! I am curious where the initial idea for Katey came from, and how you developed her as you wrote the book? Jill

Amor Towles Thanks, Jill.
I'll refer you to the Q&A on the book at amortowles.com where I talk about the book's origins.

Now that I have read and cherished your three most recent books, how do I get my hands on your older ones like "You have arrived....." and "Eve in Hollywood"? They seem to be impossible to find.
