I really didn't know of James Salter, but when this book came out it got a lot of press, being his first book in nearly 35 years. He's 87 years old and has, apparently, quite a reputation. I just had not heard of him!
This is simply the story of one man's life.... and the lives that encircle and envelop him. The characters dive in and out of the story; some important and some on the fringe, but each one contributes meaning to this man's life.
It was an interesting book. I don't know how memorable it will be for me, however, in that it lacked a strong storyline. I like a good story!
