Author Amor Towles will delve into A Gentleman in Moscow, described by Kirkus Reviews as, “In all ways a great novel, a nonstop pleasure brimming with charm, personal wisdom, and philosophic insight. This is a book in which the cruelties of the age can’t begin to erase the glories of real human connection and the memories it leaves behind.”
