Light Years by James Salter
Donated by Alice Jolly, who says...
It is hard to explain why I am such a huge fan of James Salter. His characters are affluent East Coast Americans whose lives seem trivial. Nothing very interesting happens to them and then they die. And yet some how, knitted into the warp and weft of his dazzling prose, is an absolutely exact picture of what it is like to be alive, on that particular day, on all days, everywhere.
