Amor Towles

When Amor was 10 years old, he threw a bottle with a message into the Atlantic Ocean. Several weeks later, he received a letter from the managing director of the New York Times who happened to have found the bottle. The two of them became pen pals after that and wrote to each other on and off for years. And thus began Amor’s lifelong career of writing. Amor’s stories have topped New York Times best selling lists including his book, The Lincoln Highway, being selected as Amazon’s book of the year in 2021.
