“Even a church bell’s gotta swing, if it’s gonna chime.”
“…if we don’t stare down the things that make us want to look away, then the world is just a mirage”.
New book by Amor Towles. Combination of NY short stories and a re-write of “Eve in Hollywood” in the LA section. The novella was originally published in 2013 as an e-book sequel to the author’s first work “Rules of Civility”. The update is much improved and a strong finish to this book.
The NY short stories are solid but not spectacular, written in the author's usual, easy and upbeat style and good for when only have short window of time to read.
