A master of moments: Amor Towles returns with Table for Two

Bestselling author Amor Towles has captivated readers with his elegantly crafted characters and meticulous storytelling, from the glamorous exile of Count Rostov in A Gentleman in Moscow to the cross-country odyssey in The Lincoln Highway. Now, Towles returns with Table for Two, a collection of short fiction that explores the defining moments of everyday lives.

This new work offers a compelling teaser ahead of his appearance on the Walker Webcast, where he’ll delve into the creative process behind his stories and the enduring power of character-driven narratives.

A city of characters

Set primarily in New York City, Table for Two is a literary love letter to the art of coincidence and consequence. In the novella anchoring the collection, “Eve in Hollywood,” Towles revisits Eve Ross, a magnetic presence from Rules of Civility, as she attempts to reinvent herself on the West Coast. The remaining stories, each set in Manhattan, are taut studies in decision-making, chance encounters, and the subtle tensions that define relationships.

Towles’s ability to evoke a sense of place, whether it’s the hush of a late-night Manhattan bar or the glitter of 1930s Hollywood, continues to be one of his most remarkable talents.

The magic of the everyday

What sets Table for Two apart is its focus on the small, pivotal moments that shape our lives. From missed connections to serendipitous meetings, Towles invites readers to reflect on how we choose our paths, or how they’re chosen for us.

Why tune in to the Walker Webcast

On the upcoming Walker Webcast, Towles will join Walker & Dunlop Chairman and CEO Willy Walker to discuss his literary inspirations, his thoughts on the TC adaptation of A Gentleman in Moscow, and future projects he has planned.
