THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF A GENTLEMAN IN
MOSCOW 'Feels more mythically New York than a Woody Allen storyboard painted by Edward
Hopper' THE TIMES 'Storytelling of the highest order' IRISH TIMES 'Towles is a craftsman'
NEW YORK TIMES 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 'Eve in
Hollywood' describes how one of Towles's most beloved characters the indomitable Evelyn Ross
from Rules of Civility crafts a new future for herself-and others-in a noirish tale that
takes us through the movie sets bungalows and dive bars of 1930s Los Angeles. Written with his
signature wit humour and sophistication Table for Two is another glittering addition to
Towles's canon of stylish and transporting fiction.
