Publisher Comments: From the acclaimed author of A Sport and a Pastime, Light Years, and Solo Faces, a superbly accomplished new collection that explores his signature themes: love, honor, sacrifice, friendship, and abandon. In these taut, powerful stories, Salter portrays men and women in their most intimate moments. A book dealer faces the truth about his life ù as it is and never will be again ù when he is visited unexpectedly by his brash former girlfriend. A lonely married woman, after a disturbing encounter with a drunken poet at a dinner party, finds herself irresistibly drawn to his animal surrogate, a huge tawny-eyed dog. A lover of poetry must come to terms with his wife's request to give up what may be his most treasured relationship. And in the title story, already hailed by Frank Conroy as a masterpiece, clearly and without question, a translator, tormented by an agonizing sense of inevitability, assists in his wife's suicide even as he arranges a last betrayal. A spellbinding work of fiction ù a symphony of desire, memory, and loss ù from one of our most compelling and important literary voices at work today. Quantity Available: 2.
