Book summary


A memoir by the the New York novelist (author of SOLO FACES and CASSADA). Salter describes his childhood, his education at West Point and his years as an Air Force flier, his early years as a screenwriter and novelist, and his recollections of the many members of the literary scene (like Robert Phelps and Ben Sonnenberg) who became his friends.


Media reviews


"'Burning the Days' is a book that demands to be argued with, but it is also a book of genuine artistry and, in its fashion, humanity. Even though it leaves too many questions unmentioned or unresolved, it has the virtues its author so admires: experience, ambition, accomplishment."
