American novelist Amor Towles is back with his highly anticipated collection of short stories hitting shelves on Tuesday, April 2.
Table for Two comprises six short stories and a novella reflecting a recurring theme of pivotal moments in the lives of characters often unfold during intimate encounters, symbolised by a shared table.
The short stories explore diverse settings and characters. Early buzz suggests a return to the world of Amor’s debut novel, The Rules of Civility, with a story featuring returning character Evelyn Ross.
Another story reportedly takes readers to the heart of Golden Age Hollywood.
Critics who have received early access praise his ability to capture the essence of human connection, from chance encounters to life-altering conversations.
This release marks a departure from Towles’ recent full-length novels and has already garnered significant attention from several publications, including The New York Times Book Review Podcast, Reader’s Digest, and TIME Magazine, with its blend of established themes and fresh storytelling approaches.
