Now reissued with a new introduction by award-winning poet Reynolds Price, A Sport and a Pastime is a modern classic—a bitter love story set in the French countryside—by a writer who helped define American prose style for a generation of writers and readers.
"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 decades.
Set in provincial France in the 1960s, PEN/Faulkner Award-winning author 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.
