Omschrijving
The first full-length study of James Salter in twenty-six years, this book is intended to introduce Salter to new readers and show his achievement as a writer of novels, stories, screenplays, memoirs, and travel essays.
This is a superb evocation of Salter's singular life and brilliant work by Jeffrey Meyers, one of our greatest living biographers." - Paul Theroux, bestselling author of The Mosquito Coast
"Passionately engaged, thoroughly well-researched, Jeffrey Meyers's perceptive study tracks the rich interaction between James Salter's life and work, the way that his extraordinary style, a way of perceiving the world, turned perishable experience into imperishable art." - Edward Hirsch, author of The Heart of American Poetry
Jeffrey Meyers, one of twelve Americans in the Royal Society of Literature, is the author of fifty-five books of biography and literary criticism. His work has been translated into fourteen languages and published on six continents. He has received a grant from the Guggenheim Foundation as well as an Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters "to honor exceptional achievement." In 2012, he gave the Seymour Lectures in Biography at the National Libraries of Australia.
