A Sport and a Pastime by James Salter

4.0

Never thought I could find an actual published book that writes about sex and a passionate relationship between two young people you know won’t end up together in a way that’s so poetic, the way I’m used to with fanfiction. Having the narrator be some random, unknown person is odd, slightly confusing, but only in the occasional instances when he makes his presence known, reminding you that it’s all in his head, or something. Can’t say I expected the ending but all roads led to it somehow. Amazing writing.
