Table for Two is a collection of six short stories and a novella by critically acclaimed, best-selling novelist, Amor Towles. Though the six stories are seemingly unconnected, Towles explains that in “most of the pieces, a critical moment involved a pair of family members or strangers facing each other across a kitchen table to confront some new reality in their lives”. Table for Two is a work of historical fiction, depicting the experiences of Americans in post-revolutionary Russia, turn-of-the-millennium New York City, and 1930s Los Angeles. They do not share characters, but they share common themes and motifs, such as happiness, power, money, social expectations... through a variety of characters across different times and locations in the US.

EVERYONE WELCOME.
