Description:
In the course of seven decades, James Salter has experienced enough romance for any dozen lives, piloting jet fighters at speeds approaching that of sound, writing imperishable novels like Light Years, hammering out screenplays with Robert Redford, and falling in love with one of John Huston's mistresses. In this stunningly eloquent memoir, he commemorates it all with a precision of thought and language that is at once clarifying and intoxicating.
Expand description
Whether he is describing the icy purity of the Korean sky in the instant before it is shattered by a huge formation of MIGs, the light of Paris at dawn, or the glinting smile of a beautiful woman in a Roman cafe, Salter is an incomparable observer and storyteller. And Burning the Days is a dazzling meditation on time, desire, memory, and regret.
