商品簡介
紐約時報暢銷書
“一個令人印象深刻的作品集。...鋒利的諷刺以紐豪斯巧克力盒的形式巧妙包裝,Table for Two無疑是傑出的作品。” —《紐約時報》
作者曾創作《林肯公路》、《莫斯科紳士》和《文明規則》等暢銷書。 數百萬名 Amor Towles 的粉絲又將得到一份特別的禮物。
這是一部豐富詳細、描繪生動的故事集,包括一個以他最受喜愛的角色之一為主角的中篇小說。
紐約故事大多發生在 2000 年左右,探討了短暫相遇可能帶來的命運性改變,以及現代婚姻裡微妙幽微的張力拉扯。
在 Towles 的小說《文明規則》中,堅強的伊夫林·羅斯在 1938 年 9 月離開紐約市,打算返回印第安納州的家鄉。但當她的火車開進芝加哥,她的父母正在等待時,她改變了主意,將車票延長到了洛杉磯。從七個觀點講述的《好萊塢中的伊芙》描述了伊芙如何在洛杉磯的電影片場、平房和小酒館中為自己——以及其他人——創造了一個新的未來,在一個充滿黑色電影氛圍的故事中。
New York Times Bestseller
“A knockout collection. ... Sharp-edged satire deceptively wrapped like a box of Neuhaus chocolates, Table for Two is a winner.” —The New York Times
From the bestselling author of The Lincoln Highway, A Gentleman in Moscow, and Rules of Civility, a richly detailed and sharply drawn collection of stories, including a novella featuring one of his most beloved characters
Millions of Amor Towles fans are in for a treat as he shares some of his shorter fiction: six stories based in New York City and a novella set in Golden Age Hollywood.
The New York stories, most of which take place around the year 2000, consider the fateful consequences that can spring from brief encounters and the delicate mechanics of compromise that operate at the heart of modern marriages.
In Towles’s novel Rules of Civility, the indomitable Evelyn Ross leaves New York City in September 1938 with the intention of returning home to Indiana. But as her train pulls into Chicago, where her parents are waiting, she instead extends her ticket to Los Angeles. Told from seven points of view, “Eve in Hollywood” describes how Eve crafts a new future for herself—and others—in a noirish tale that takes us through the movie sets, bungalows, and dive bars of Los Angeles.
Written with his signature wit, humor, and sophistication, Table for Two is another glittering addition to Towles’s canon of stylish and transporting fiction.
