The astonishing novel and "tour de force" about a love affair in postwar France from the iconic author of
All That Is (
The
New York Times Book Review)
.
Twenty-year-old Yale dropout Phillip Dean is traveling Europe aimlessly in a borrowed car with little money. When he stops for a few days in a church-quiet town near Dijon, he meets Anne-Marie Costallat, a young shop assistant. The two begin an affair both carnal and innocent, and she quickly becomes to him the real France, its beating heart and an object of pure longing.
James Salter, author of
Light Years and the memoir
Burning the Days, was an essential voice in the evolution of late twentieth-century prose, a stylist on par with Updike and Roth who won the PEN/Faulkner Award for his collection
Dusk and Other Stories. One of the first great American novels to speak frankly of human desire free of guilt and shame,
A Sport and a Pastime inspired Reynolds Price to call it "as nearly perfect as any American fiction I know."
This ebook edition features an illustrated biography of James Salter including rare photos from the author's personal collection.
