James Salter: with biographer Jeffrey Meyers

Описание к видео James Salter: with biographer Jeffrey Meyers

James Salter is the best American writer you’ve probably never read.

He was a fighter pilot in the Korean War, and a successful screenwriter. His sentences are fractured jewels. The details are closely observed, the imagery poetic. Every page contains an observation I want to write down.

Biographer Jeffrey Meyers joined me to talk about Salter’s remarkable prose style, his core themes of love and loss, and why this giant of American fiction isn’t more widely read today.
