TABLE FOR TWO - AMOR TOWLES KARTONIERT (TB)

An International Bestseller   “A knockout collection. ... Sharp-edged satire deceptively
wrapped like a box of Neuhaus chocolates  Table for Two is a winner.” — The New York Times  
From the bestselling author of Rules of Civility   A Gentleman in Moscow   and The Lincoln
Highway   a richly detailed and sharply drawn collection of stories  including a novella
featuring one of his most beloved characters     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.   In Towles’s
novel Rules of Civility   the indomitable Evelyn Ross leaves New York City in September 1938
with the intention of returning home to Indiana. But as her train pulls into Chicago  where her
parents are waiting  she instead extends her ticket to Los Angeles. Told from seven points of
view  “Eve in Hollywood” describes how Eve crafts a new future for herself—and others—in a
noirish tale that takes us through the movie sets  bungalows  and dive bars of Los Angeles.  
Written with his signature wit  humor  and sophistication  Table for Two is another glittering
addition to Towles’s canon of stylish and transporting fiction.
