Ava Zulal asked Amor Towles:

Hello Amor, at one point I remember Rostov says that despite the Metropol's current state that it is still better than other establishments. I can't for the life of me find the original text from the book. I would be ever so happy for any clarification/quotes you may have?

Amor Towles Dear Ava,
I'm afraid I don't know remember which passage your thinking of. But then, I seem to increasingly forget my keys when I leave the house...

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.

Lois Winters asked Amor Towles:

Just started reading this one and wondered how long it took you to write it? I've always marveled at authors who can switch from on character to the other telling the story and changing the person it's told in. I am not a writer, but it seems so challenging.

Judi Ross asked Amor Towles:

I just started The Lincoln Highway and am loving it. I have 2 questions. You use the terms Mitzvah and putz and reference the Jews of 47th street. Is one of the characters Jewish? Can you share a little background on Woolly as it relates to Rules of Civility?
