Author: James Salter
James Salter (1925 - 2015) was a novelist, short story writer, and screenwriter.

Salter’s potent, lyrical prose earned him acclaim from critics, readers, and fellow novelists. His novel A Sport and a Pastime (1967) was hailed by the New York Times as “nearly perfect as any American fiction.”
