A Sport and a Pastime
'As nearly perfect as any American fiction I know,' is how Reynolds Price (The New York Times) described this classic that has been a favorite of readers, both here and in Europe, for almost forty years. Set in provincial France in the 1960s, James Salter's A Sport and a Pastime is the intensely carnal story--part shocking reality, part feverish dream --of a love affair between a footloose Yale dropout and a young French girl. There is the seen and the unseen--and pages that burn with a rare intensity.

James Salter's novels and volumes of memoir have been widely celebrated and he is now recognized as one of America's most important writers.
