Omschrijving
A confident precision is always there--whether Jim is writing about sexual longing, or when his subject is flying combat missions in Korea. What Jim believed, he was always able to express succinctly: 'Style is the entire writer.' These lectures make me miss him--his generous but undoubting voice."" — John Irving
""A last and very generous gift from the great James Salter. The reader feels his reverence for literature on every page, as well as his legendary precision. Any aspiring writer should read this book, if only to get a taste of how a master thinks and feels: specifically, poetically, always mindful of the necessary mystery at the heart of great art."" — George Saunders

James Salter was the acclaimed author of the novels A Sport and a Pastime, Light Years, and All That Is, the memoir Burning the Days, and the PEN/Faulkner Award-winning collection Dusk and Other Stories. He was the first Kapnick Foundation Distinguished Writer–in–Residence at the University of Virginia, a position inspired by William Faulkner’s residency at the university in 1956–58.
