A great novel and nothing else!

The too rare James Salter 6 novels to his credit, the last before this one from 1979! And we offer with nothing more American narrative can not be on the seemingly hackneyed theme of the young man returned from the war (that of Korea, in this case) who is carving a seemingly dominant position in the New York society , where he became editor, while seeing his personal life away from him. In a fluid pen and seemingly undisturbed, Salter made this everyday situation a remarkable evocation of life simply one that captures not only halftones and hints. Life and nothing else, in a way, that is to say everything!
Translation is about marrying the beautifully simple and elegant phrasing of the original.
Excellent reading back!
