Media Reviews
Salter inhabits the same rarefied heights as Flannery O'Connor, Paul Bowles, Tennessee Williams, and John Cheever. --Ned Rorem, The Washington Post Book World A feverishly compressed, exquisitely controlled story. --Richard Eder, Los Angeles Times A tour de force of erotic realism, a romantic cliff-hanger; an opaline vision of Americans in France . . . A Sport and a Pastime succeeds as art must. It tells us about ourselves. -- The New York Times Book Review Salter particularly rewards those for whom reading is an intense pleasure. --Susan Sontag
