A haunting symphony of desire, memory and loss from an American master of fiction
In ten exquisite stories, Salter portrays men and women in their most intimate moments. The title piece, in which a translator assists agonizingly in his wife's suicide even as he performs a last betrayal, has already been hailed 'a masterpiece, clearly and without question'. "He has written three books that everyone should read before they die..."Last Night" is a deeply gratifying reminder of what reading is for" - "Independent". "Breathtaking...Salter's stories are masterpieces of poise and clarity...Hugely enjoyable and endlessly stimulating" - "Metro", 5-star review. "There is a steady hum of eroticism beneath his narrative and in the voluptuous restraint of his style. What else can I say? I highly recommend it" - "Daily Telegraph". "James Salter is a master of the great American short story...Extraordinarily subtle, precise and elegant" - "The Times".

James Salter is the author of numerous books, including the novels Solo Faces, Light Years, A Sport and a Pastime, The Arm of Flesh (revised as Cassada), and The Hunters; the memoirs Gods of Tin and Burning the Days; the collections Dusk and Other Stories, which won the 1989 PEN/Faulkner Award, and Last Night, which won the Rea Award for the Short Story and the PEN/Malamud Award; and Life Is Meals: A Food Lover's Book of Days, written with Kay Salter. He died in 2015.
