âThis may be Towlesâ best book yet. Each tale is as satisfying as a master chefâs main course, filled with drama, wit, erudition and, most of all, heart.â âLos Angeles Times
âThe book spans the 20th century, bringing characters into tableaus of deceit and desire. Beneath his coifed prose Towles is a master of the shiv, the bait and switch; we see the flash of light before the shock wave strikes, often in the final sentence. . . . Table for Two delivers the kick of a martini served in the Polo Lounge.â â The New York Times Book Review
Millions of Amor Towles fans are in for a treat as he shares some of his shorter fiction: six stories based in New York City and a novella set in Golden Age Hollywood.
The New York stories, most of which take place around the year 2000, consider the fateful consequences that can spring from brief encounters and the delicate mechanics of compromise that operate at the heart of modern marriages. Told from seven points of view, âEve in Hollywoodâ describes how one of Towlesâs most beloved characters, the indomitable Evelyn Ross from Rules of Civility, crafts a new future for herselfâand othersâin a noirish tale that takes us through the movie sets, bungalows, and dive bars of 1930s Los Angeles.
Written with his signature wit, humor, and sophistication, Table for Two is another glittering addition to Towlesâs canon of stylish and transporting fiction.
