Hi all - Looking forward to seeing
everyone next Wednesday at the store. I hope you are enjoying the book,
although I would guess it has potential to be one of our more
incendiary choices. To help frame the conversation, I'm attaching a few
articles on the author and book. There's lots more out there if you
look.I sincerely hope you can make the meeting. I've got a nice single malt I brought back from London and a private bottling of rye from Whistle Pig of Vermont.
James Salter could be the greatest writer you've never heard of although he's written many Hollywood screenplays and even resorted to writing profiles for People magazine. There has been a big push recently to get recognition for his work.
Is James Salter sexist? Is he a writer for men only? Enjoy this debate between Roxanna Robinson and Katie Roiphe.
