Summary

Fourth of July, 1971. Five awkward, young men drive to New York City to attend the '71 comic convention in search of love, sex, art, comic books and a glimpse at the city's wicked underbelly. What they encounter changes their lives forever. Visit a pivotal time as comics change from a business to an art form. Meet Allan Caldwell, comic artist, blacklisted since the 1950s for his testimony to the U.S. Congressional Inquiry. Tour the greatest city in America during a period of social disintegration. THIS ISSUE: "No Childhood Left Behind" The stage is set as five awkward, young men drive to New York City for the 1971 Comic Book Convention. They explore a New York City so steeped in decay at the time that each of their idiosyncrasies no longer seem important. "This work is truly novelistic.  It’s ambitious in terms of setting, rich characterization and it says something about life.  He is in heady company. Kubert, Eisner and Miller spring to mind." - R.G.Taylor, Co-creator Wordsmith, Artist Sandman Mystery Theater.

    A Gentleman in Moscow: A Novel by Amor Towles - Book Summary - Abbey Beathan 
    (Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book.) 
    A novel about Count and how he was ordered to spend the rest of his life inside the walls of a luxury hotel. 
    In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov was condemned to spend the rest of his life in the Metropol, a luxurious hotel. A Gentleman in Moscow feels like an emotional trip, where we empathise with Alexander Rostov's situation. At first, we feel impotence, due to the fact that the protagonist is locked in an attic room while the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are passing outside of the hotel's walls. But that's just the beginning, the interest part is what happens next. 
    (Note: This summary is wholly written and published by Abbey Beathan. It is not affiliated with the original author in any way) 
    "If a man does not master his circumstances then he is bound to be mastered by them." - Amor Towles 
    The second part of the emotional journey alongside Rostov is one that was generated due to the solitude of being locked away with nothing to do. It gave him time to look deep within himself and enter a state of emotional discovery, one that would change his life for good. Amor Towles did a masterful job of describing intangible things in the most accurate and humane way. 
    Filled with humor and an interesting cast of characters, dive into this unique novel that gives you a deeper understanding of what it means to be a person of purpose.
