From his runaway bestseller debut Rules of Civility to The Lincoln Highway and A Gentleman in Moscow, millions of readers around the world have fallen in love with the books of Amor Towles — elegant, absorbing, gripping novels that have made him one of the most beloved writers of his generation. Written with his signature wit, humor, and sophistication, Table for Two — six stories based in New York City and a novella set in Hollywood’s Golden Age, “Eve in Hollywood,” a sequel to Rules of Civility — is another glittering addition to Towles’s canon of stylish and transporting fiction.

In a special reading and conversation, hear Towles discuss his remarkable career as a writer and the secrets of his trade — an evening of literature and conversation with one of America’s premier literary storytellers.
“A knockout collection. … Sharp-edged satire deceptively wrapped like a box of Neuhaus chocolates, Table for Two is a winner.” — The New York Times
“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
