Amor Towles:
That's wonderful. I am often struck by the jewels that research unearths while writing historical fiction. It's surprising how actual events known and unknown reflect a greater truth. Perhaps it's the mythical Universal Mind? I also believe in Faulkner's saying that stories happen to those who can tell them, and you tell them well. I'll carry the Triumvirate with me for many years and look forward to your next.

Dear J.
Thanks so much for the kind remarks. And though it's selfish, I certainly hope that Faulkner was right.

Amor Towles:
I love, love, love this book! I am on the last chapter and I am afraid to finish because it is so good. You are a gifted writer and I will read anything you write. Please keep on writing so that I have some hope of reading a great book again. Will you answer my prayer for an author who writes without using profanity and too graphic scenes?

Mr. Towles, I enjoyed very much "A gentleman in Moscow". Is your Count Alexander Rostov inspired by Count Léon d'Algout, the wonderful character that seduces Ninotchka in the great Lubitch movie? As the film, your shares a funny and tragic description of the Comunist regime and its victims.
