I hate to admit I didn't know about James Salter until reading his obituary four years ago in the NYT. I recently began his last novel and started to listen to his readings. He lives up to the many kudos he received, with the beautiful flow of his language.

I’m sorry to say that I had not heard of this man until NPR’s Terry Gross played an old interview. His prose is so inferential and is created in the readers mind…this is wonderful

This is sad. I have most of James Salter books and if not I read them all through the NYPL. Excellent author, I need some time to recoup from this sad news.

Very dark video, not loud enough.
