Table for Two: Fictions

Amor Towles

For fans who worry that six stories and a novella won’t serve up the deeper delights of his novels, prepare to eat your hat: 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.
