The Obituary was in today's Boston Globe. All There Is was his last novel. He was 90 and apparently at the gym working-out when he died. Moral: Exercise is not necessarily good for you.

From The New Yorker: "The news, in its way unexpected, felt like one of those breath-stealing turns out of “Light Years,” his masterpiece, or “All That Is,” his final work. Both novels span decades, depicting fairly ordinary lives studded with such swipes of fate. Salter, though admired principally as a sculptor of sentences, may have been close to peerless (Alice Munro comes to mind, too) in his talent, and taste, for expressing the mercilessness of time’s passing. Friends, oysters, martinis, white linen, hope, wit, charm: he was adept both at living well and at describing good living, but perhaps doubly so at conveying the impermanence of any kind of life at all. His own had not been ordinary. He was a West Pointer, a fighter pilot, a veteran of the Korean War, a filmmaker and screenwriter, a sportsman, a swordsman, a roué abroad—a man’s man first and a writer’s writer later. Still, the work was delicate and almost Continental, more austere, perhaps, than the guy who made it, but about as coy."
