One of the greatest writers of American sentences in our literary history, James Salter´s acute and glimmering portrayals of characters are built with a restrained and poetic style. The author of several memorable works of fiction--including Dusk and Other Stories, which won the PEN/Faulkner Award--he is also celebrated for his memoir Burning the Days and many nonfiction essays. In her preface, Kay Eldredge Salter writes, "Don´t Save Anything is a volume of the best of Jim´s nonfiction--articles published but never collected in one place until now. Though those many boxes were overflowing with papers, in the end it´s not really a matter of quantity. These pieces reveal some of the breadth and depth of Jim´s endless interest in the world and the people in it . . . One of the great pleasures in writing nonfiction is the writer´s feeling of exploration, of learning about things he doesn´t know, of finding out by reading and observing and asking questions, and then writing it down. That´s what you´ll find here." This collection gathers Salter´s thoughts on writing and profiles of important writers, observations of the changing American military life, evocations of Aspen winters, musings on mountain climbing and skiing, and tales of travels to Europe that first appeared in The New Yorker, Esquire, People, Conde Nast Traveler, the Aspen Times, among other publications...Altres llibres de James Salter
