Cynthia Shannon asked Amor Towles:

Have you seen the Grand Budapest Hotel by Wes Anderson and what did you think of it?

Amor Towles Cynthia,
I am a great Wes Anderson fan. That said, when I was about 2/3 of the way through the first draft of A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW and the Grand Budapest Hotel was released, my heart sank. (No artist likes to discover that he is on a previously-trodden path...) To protect my own imaginative process, I would not allow myself to watch GBH until the final version of my book was complete. I finally watched the movie with my wife earlier this spring as my MS was on the way to the printer--and, of course, greatly enjoyed it.
Best,
AT
