Resumen del Editor

An Instant New York Times 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

“Superb ... This may be Towles’ best book yet. Each tale is as satisfying as a master chef’s main course, filled with drama, wit, erudition and, most of all, heart.”—Los Angeles 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.

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.

I wish I could give six stars on all fronts

Not a big fan of short stories but -as usual- Amor Towles hits it out of the ball park.
If there is a better or more entertaining writer please let me know because every word, passage and plot were a pure golden delight. I have never enjoyed a book as much as this one!!!

Fabulous short stories

I loved all the New York short stories. They are funny, yet carry deep understanding and insights about human nature.
The LA part was less funny, nevertheless entertaining.
Great job Costco magazine for promoting the book!

A wonderful “page turner” in true Amor Towles style

I am generally not a short story lover but all of these were terrific especially the last one which was actually more of a novella. Highly recommend.

Side stories are great.

Kept waiting for connection between chapter 1 and Eve. Did I miss it? Took a long TV time to place the time period. That is all.

Engaging

I especially loved the first story for some reason and wished it would continue. But then I met Evelyn. Loved all those interconnected stories. He’s a master storyteller. The narrator was one I was familiar with from other titles (Beautiful Ruins) and I wasn’t sure about him on this one but ended up loving the job he did.

thought-provoking and compelling, based on personal experience

the book starts with one man's journey, with unknown rashes that almost ruin his life. but the experience drives him to research the effects of pesticides on our health. well written and documented, and well worth reading!
