Description

First posted almost a quarter-century before and among the not many short-story collections to get the PEN/Faulkner Award, this really is National fiction at its many vital—each plot an apparently easy and masterpiece of sustained energy fictional elegance. Two Ny lawyers recently flush with prosperity attempt a dissolute visit of France; an ambitious young screenwriter suddenly finds the real meaning of craft and beauty; a driver, remote in the areas, is in an terrible accident—night is slipping, and she must face her future alone. These tales verify James Salter as you of the best authors of our time.
