A sophisticated and entertaining debut novel about an irresistible young woman with an uncommon sense of purpose.

Set in New York City in 1938, "Rules of Civility" tells the story of a watershed year in the life of an uncompromising twenty-five-year- old named Katey Kontent. Armed with little more than a formidable intellect, a bracing wit, and her own brand of cool nerve, Katey embarks on a journey from a Wall Street secretarial pool through the upper echelons of New York society in search of a brighter future.

The story opens on New Year's Eve in a Greenwich Village jazz bar, where Katey and her boardinghouse roommate Eve happen to meet Tinker Grey, a handsome banker with royal blue eyes and a ready smile. This chance encounter and its startling consequences cast Katey off her current course, but end up providing her unexpected access to the rarified offices of Conde Nast and a glittering new social circle. Befriended in turn by a shy, principled multimillionaire, an Upper East Side ne'er-do-well, and a single-minded widow who is ahead of her times, Katey has the chance to experience first hand the poise secured by wealth and station, but also the aspirations, envy, disloyalty, and desires that reside just below the surface. Even as she waits for circumstances to bring Tinker back into her orbit, she will learn how individual choices become the means by which life crystallizes loss.

Elegant and captivating, "Rules of Civility" turns a Jamesian eye on how spur of the moment decisions define life for decades to come. A love letter to a great American city at the end of the Depression, readers will quickly fall under its spell of crisp writing, sparkling atmosphere and breathtaking revelations, as Towles evokes the ghosts of Fitzgerald, Capote, and McCarthy.

Rules of civility 强烈推荐。已经忍不住开始读第二遍了。 最初看到这本书是在大连的西西弗书店里一群心理学书籍中,被书名跟作者介绍吸引住了。这本是Amor Towles的第一本小说,他虽然只写过两本小说,但是这两本每一部都是bestseller。本人对这种不多产,但是一击必中的作家...

2011年,美国图书市场的一匹大大的黑马——《rules of Civility 社交礼仪守则》。 书一出来,就雄踞美国各大媒体畅销书排行榜,二○一一年还获得菲茨杰拉德奖。菲茨杰拉德,没错儿,就是写《了不起的盖茨比》的那位。 书很温和,优雅,仿佛一杯香槟或者白葡萄酒,散发着绿色...

经过一个下午和晚上,心里头还是想着用了三天读完的书《上流法则》。 读完后,内心有些忧伤,连下午听到communication这首歌都觉得很像书中凯蒂和延克的之间的关系。 趁着洗完澡和洗完衣服后,还有残留的情绪和思绪,记录一下这本我很喜爱的书带给的感触。(洗澡真是容易思绪万...

浮光掠影過40年代的紐約,加上幾個有趣的情節轉摺,還不忘抖抖小書袋或者文化梗。比期待的輕快很多。

正好在紐約“own romantic season”的鞦季尾聲讀完。書比我的生活更美。但還是更喜歡A Gentleman in Moscow,也許因為生活中的車水馬龍減損瞭書裏紐約鎏金管弦樂一般的魅力吧。裏麵的中餐館Chinoiserie在yelp上搜的到哈哈雖然頁麵是空的。
