 Amor Towles: Table for two, Hutchinson/Heinemann, 9780593831236, paperback,  ( "Eve", Hanser Verlag, 22.7.24, hardback, Deutsche Ausgabe) 


Amor Towles is one of my favorite storytellers, "A Gentleman in Moscow" on my shelf of favorite books.

 His latest " Table for two" is absolute ace, loved it, six superb short stories or the better description, short fiction.  I could not say which one is the most outstanding story or which I favor the most. They surprised me all in their turn of events, exquisitely written, all taking place in New York. 

"Table for two" also includes the novel " Eve in Hollywood" which I have read before featuring Evelyn Ross from "Rules of Civility" which i remember as a noirish story, will probably reread.
