Last Night
By James SalterPublisher Description
Last Night is a spellbinding collection of stories about passion–by turns fiery and subdued, destructive and redemptive, alluring and devastating. These ten powerful stories portray men and women in their most intimate moments. A lover of poetry is asked by his wife to give up what may be his most treasured relationship. A book dealer is forced to face the truth about his life. And in the title story, a translator assists his wife’s suicide, even as he performs a last act of betrayal. James Salter’ s assured style and emotional insight make him one of our most essential writers.

“Some of these stories really came together for me, but some of them just felt like a lot of pretty words and sentences that didn't equate to much. I think Salter's style is really interesting, but some of these didn't feel fleshed out enough.”
