A review by carokfulf
A Sport and a Pastime by James Salter

3.0

Beautiful prose, if tarred with the unthinking misogyny and racism of its time. I can see why this novel is held up as an example of good sex writing, but the conceit of the unreliable, voyeuristic narrator keeps true feeling at a remove. Felt at times like paging through a lengthy perfume ad in a fashion magazine.
