This sophisticated short story by award winning and best selling author Amor Towles is at once playful and unsettling. He brings his reader into the rarefied, but imperfect space of cultured New York and cannot help but expose the flaws embedded at its core. On what was meant to be a happy date, a young investment banker takes his wife to Carnegie Hall and observes an elderly man secretly recording the concert. His indignation is not without consequence.
