First published nearly a quarter-century ago and one of the very few short-story collections to win the PEN/Faulkner Award, this is American fiction at its most vital -- each narrative a masterpiece of sustained power and seemingly effortless literary grace. Two New York attorneys newly flush with wealth embark on a dissolute tour of Italy; an ambitious young screenwriter unexpectedly discovers the true meaning of art and glory; a rider, far off in the fields, is involved in an horrific accident -- night is falling, and she must face her destiny alone. These stories confirm James Salter as one of the finest writers of our time.

BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from James Salter's All That Is.
