A Page from the Book Festival of the MJCCA (Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta) will present two author events in April. The first features New York Times bestselling author Amor Towles on Wednesday, April 10 at 7:30 p.m. In his second remarkable work of fiction, A Gentleman in Moscow, Towles further establishes his reputation as one of contemporary literature’s most exciting and singular writers. A big novel that embodies the grand style and spirit of Russia’s Golden Age of Literature, A Gentleman in Moscow is a captivating story of personal and emotional discovery that spans more than three decades and takes place almost entirely within the walls of the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Named as one of the best books of 2016 by the Chicago Tribune, The Washington Post, The Philadelphia Inquirer, the San Francisco Chronicle, and NPR, A Gentleman in Moscow spent 59 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list! “Sly and winning… Listen closely and you might hear a Wes Anderson soundtrack playing… Towles is a craftsman.. he chooses themes that run deeper than mere sociopolitical commentary: parental duty, friendship, romance, the call of home.” —The New York Times Book Review. Tickets: Member $24/Community $30; (all general admission tickets include one trade paperback copy of A Gentleman in Moscow) On Thursday, April 11, at 7:30 p.m., Clea Shearer & Joanna Teplin, authors of The Home Edit: A Guide to Organizing and Realizing Your House Goals will be in conversation with local media personality Mara Davis. The Home Edit walks you through paring down your belongings in every room, arranging them in attractive and easy-to-find ways, and then maintaining the system so you don’t need a do-over in six months.
