Author Amor Towles

The University of Virginia, Virginia Humanities, and Brown Advisory are pleased to present this conversation between bestselling author Amor Towles and UVA President Jim Ryan.

Mr. Towles' novels Rules of Civility, A Gentleman in Moscow, and The Lincoln Highway, and his collection of shorter fiction called Table for Two have collectively sold more than six million copies and been translated into more than thirty languages. Both Bill Gates and President Barack Obama included A Gentleman in Moscow and The Lincoln Highway on their annual book recommendation lists.

His most recent work, Table for Two, includes six short stories and a novella featuring the alluring protagonist of Rules of Civility, Evelyn Ross. An immediate bestseller, The New York Times called it "a winner," and the Star Tribune said "[his] new book could be his best yet."
