An Evening with Amor Towles

Join the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library Foundation for an evening of conversation with New York Times bestselling author Amor Towles. Born and raised in the Boston area, Towles graduated from Yale and received an M.A. in English from Stanford. Having worked as an investment professional for more than 20 years, he now devotes himself full time to writing in Manhattan, where he lives with his family. His novels Rules of Civility, A Gentleman in Moscow, and The Lincoln Highway, and his collection of shorter fiction, Table for Two, have all been New York Times bestsellers, have collectively sold more than 8 million copies, and have been translated into more than 40 languages. Both Bill Gates and President Barack Obama included A Gentleman in Moscow and The Lincoln Highway on their annual book recommendation lists.
