A Sport and a Pastime : A Novel

Editorial Reviews
Reynolds Price
"As nearly perfect as any American fiction I know."

Review
"Salter inhabits the same rarefied heights as Flannery O'Connor, Paul Bowles, Tennessee Williams, and John Cheever."--Ned Rorem, The Washington Post Book World

"A feverishly compressed, exquisitely controlled story."--Richard Eder, Los Angeles Times

"A tour de force of erotic realism, a romantic cliff-hanger; an opaline vision of Americans in France . . . A Sport and a Pastime succeeds as art must. It tells us about ourselves."--The New York Times Book Review

"Salter particularly rewards those for whom reading is an intense pleasure."--Susan Sontag
