Book Synopsis
This collection offers two dozen essays and sketches about one of the passions of Salter s life, travel, a subject beloved by writers across the centuries. Over twenty years of skiing, hiking, climbing from Colorado to Japan to the Tyrol, from Austria and Switzerland to Germany and France, Salter is an engaging companion sharing his great enthusiasm and adventures. James Salter s novels and volumes of memoir have been widely celebrated and he is now recognized as one of America s most important writers. Susan Sontag once remarked, [Salter] is among the very few North American writers all of whose work I want to read, whose as yet unpublished books I wait for impatiently. "
About the Author
James Salter was a novelist, short story writer, screenwriter, and essayist. Born in 1925, Salter grew up in New York City and was a career officer and Air Force pilot until his mid-thirties, when the success of his first novel The Hunters led to a fulltime writing career. Salter's potent, lyrical prose has earned him acclaim from critics, readers, and fellow novelists. He was the recipient of a PEN/Faulkner Award and the PEN/Malamud Award, among others. His novel A Sport and a Pastime was hailed by the New York Times as "nearly perfect as any American fiction." His other books include Cassada and Light Years. He died on June 19, 2015, at ninety years old.Dimensions (Overall): 8.0 Inches (H) x 5.4 Inches (W) x .6 Inches (D)
