A friend asked me today whether I'd read James Salter's A Sport and A Pastime, and I responded with an enthusiastic, 'yes!' What a tremendous novel - one which reminded me, at moments, at least, of Durrell's Quartet. I have the sense that Salter's novels have been overlooked in recent years, which is a shame, as I could not have enjoyed A Sport and A Pastime more. Eros, indeed.
