Praise


An International Bestseller
An NPR Favorite Fiction Read of 2024


"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

"Table for Two is a smorgasbord of deliciously mischievous tales imbued with Towles' signature wit and worldliness."- Time

"Table for Two has more than delivered. This collection is not just spare pieces to tide readers over until Towles's next novel. It's a worthwhile addition to his growing oeuvre."- The Washington Post

"Few contemporary authors quite capture the comic drama of fluctuating fortunes as ably as Towles."- Financial Times

"These are jam-packed, juicy stories."- Star Tribune

"Towles has a genius for immersive scene setting, and most of Table for Two... feels more delightfully, mythically New York than a Woody Allen storyboard painted by Edward Hopper... [A] deeply satisfying collection."- The Times

"Delightful."- People

"Aficionados of Amor Towles's carefully crafted fiction will be thrilled by this latest collection of elegantly presented short stories along with a novella... Long-standing admirers and new readers alike will take great delight in this entertaining collection."- The Guardian

"The author of A Gentleman in Moscow delights with six sophisticated short stories and a noirish novella."- Tampa Bay Times

"Towles continues to show his signature wit and literary prowess in this new collection, making Table for Two a can't-miss for current or future fans of his work."- Chicago Review of Books

"Towles excels with this collection. Highly recommended."- Library Journal (starred review)

"Amor Towles is a master of language and one of the best storytellers of our time. In Table for Two, he lives up to his well-deserved reputation as a first-rate craftsman."- Bookreporter
