A review by iancarpenter
A Sport and a Pasttime by James Salter

4.0

Beautifully written. The sensuality and sexuality is so very welcome. It feels like it was written in the 30s somehow. Simple, painful, sweet, mildly cruel, it's got a great bead on a straight young man's sexual obsessions and romantic inadequacies. I loved it and will definitely be reading loads more of Salter's.
