SynopsisA New York Times Bestseller "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 "The 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." - 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, "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, humor, and sophistication, Table for Two is another glittering addition to Towles's canon of stylish and transporting fiction.

Latest from one of my favorite authors.
Pleasure reading this author. I've read all his books thus far and have wanted to get this one, his latest, for a while now. This is a collection of stories and includes a novella. I'm eager to get started on it. The book itself came as described and in good condition. It was originally a library book and had all the stamps included and was wrapped in clear plastic. I managed to remove all of the stamps except one. I'm pleased that I finally got a good clean edition.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Entirely Avoidable ...
This was one of the most poorly written books I ever read, the writing is laborious, causing me to shout out loud a couple of times "Oh come on, get to the point." I heard sections of this book read out loud on NPR ... sounded much better there than holding the pages.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
