Literary Arts is proud to present an evening with #1 New York Times bestselling author Amor Towles (Rules of Civility, A Gentleman in Moscow) in celebration of his third novel, The Lincoln Highway.
Praise for The Lincoln Highway:
“Towles’ third novel is even more entertaining than his much-acclaimed A Gentleman in Moscow . . .A remarkable blend of sweetness and doom, [The Lincoln Highway] is packed with revelations about the American myth, the art of storytelling, and the unrelenting pull of history. An exhilarating ride through Americana.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred)
“An absolute beauty of a book. Every character is a gem, the many locations spring to vivid life, the book is an intricate and moving exploration of journeys and the infinite unexpected turns they can take—and somehow Towles makes it all seem effortless. As soon as I finished it, I wanted to read it again.” —Tana French
“Magnificent…Towles is a supreme storyteller, and this one-of-a-kind kind of novel isn’t to be missed.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred review
“[A] playfully thought-provoking novel… Towles, paying more than a passing nod to Huckleberry Finn, juggles the pieces of his plot deftly, shifting from voice to voice, skirting sentimentality and quirkiness with a touch of wistful regret, and leading up to an ending that is bound to provoke discussion.” —Booklist, Starred review
AMOR TOWLES
Born and raised in the Boston area, Amor Towles graduated from Yale College and received an MA in English from Stanford University.

His novels Rules of Civility, A Gentleman in Moscow, and The Lincoln Highway have collectively sold more than five million copies and been translated into more than thirty languages.

Amor Towles books were highly recommended to me by a friend at work. After reading his first two books, i have encouraged other friends and family to read them. I’m really looking forward to reading the Lincoln Highway. And, i would love to attend his presentation.
Maybe this will be the push I need to finish A Gentleman in Moscow 😎
I’d love to attend a literary event this year. Thanks.
I would enjoy that evening listening & hopefully learn something from someone who I admire.
A Gentleman in Moscow is in my top 5 novels of all time! I’d love to go!
This should be an amazing evening.
A fine author…we’re big fans and already support Literary Arts, too. Pick us! Pick us!
I’m a big fan of Amor Towels, Literary Arts, and the Schnitz. I can’t think of a better event for me to get back out into the world ✨
Sounds like a great event!
Have thoroughly enjoyed his books! Read them all in 2021.
I use to be a reading teacher. Does this count?
If I had a dime for every time I recommend this author…! I’d be honored to meet Mr. Towles.
I LOVED a Gentleman in Moscow, would love to be picked!

Best selling author. Will he be at Powell’s to sign books? I would like to see him speak.
Mr. Towles is one of the most imaginative and articulate authors I’ve had the pleasure of reading. It would be an honor to see him in person. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this drawing.
