There and Then: The Travel Writing of James Salter

by James Salter · 2005

+ Want to read

This is a collection of writing about one of James Salter's passions—travel. An exceptional companion with whom to share experiences, Salter hikes, skis, and climbs along the way, often with notable sportsman. Some of the pieces are brief and poignant, while others develop slowly and unfold with Salter's inimitable restrained elegance. All of them are infused with the skill of a novelist who just as astutely describes the sheer drop of a ski run as he does the facade of a chateau.
