Background

Authorial Context: Amor Towles

Amor Towles is an American author from Boston. From 1991 to 2012, Towles worked as an investment banker at Select Equity Group in New York City. In 2011, Towles published his first novel, Rules of Civility, which was sufficiently successful to allow Towles to pursue writing full time. Towles’s second novel, A Gentleman in Moscow (2016) was adapted for television in 2024. Towles’s third novel, The Lincoln Highway (2021), was Amazon’s 2021 Best Book and spent 30 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. In addition to his novels, Towles has published shorter works, including Eve in Hollywood (2013), and the novella You Have Arrived at Your Destination (2019). Table for Two is unlike his previous works in that five of the stories take place around the year 2000 in New York City, which, unlike his other works, is a setting with which Towles has personal experience.

Towles is known for his sophisticated prose and immersive writing; he primarily writes historical fiction that adapts themes from literary classics such as F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby (1925) and Jack Kerouac’s rambling blurred text
