Review:
"Salter inhabits the same rarefied heights as Flannery O'Connor, Paul Bowles, Tennessee Williams, and John Cheever."--Ned Rorem, "The Washington Post Book World" "A feverishly compressed, exquisitely controlled story."--Richard Eder, "Los Angeles Times" """A tour de force of erotic realism, a romantic cliff-hanger; an opaline vision of Americans in France . . . "A Sport and a Pastime" succeeds as art must. It tells us about ourselves."--"The New York Times Book Review" """Salter particularly rewards those for whom reading is an intense pleasure."--Susan Sontag
From the Publisher:
"Salter is the contemporary writer most admired and envied by other writers...he can, when he wants, break your heart with a sentence." Michael Dirda, Washington Post

Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. First Edition. A Sport and a Pastime is an astonishing performance, the classic novel from a remarkable writer whose sentences bristle with a singular passion. Salter chronicles a love affair between a young shopgirl and an American college dropout against the backdrop of provincial France. The narrator's cool distillation of events-real or imagined-makes the book both lyrical and tightly, dangerously pitched. Seller Inventory # DADAX0865472106
