Don't Save Anything: Uncollected Essays, Articles, and Profiles, Paperback

"Its every page offers pleasure, the profound, joyful pleasure of watching a masterful writer at work." --Chicago Tribune

"In Don't Save Anything . . . Kay Eldredge Salter assembles her late husband's bread-and-butter journalism--yet how delicious good bread and butter can be " --Michael Dirda, The Washington Post

One of the greatest writers of American sentences in our literary history, James Salter's acute and glimmering portrayals of characters are built with a restrained and poetic style. In her preface, Kay Eldredge Salter writes, "Don't Save Anything is a volume of the best of Jim's nonfiction--articles published but never collected in one place until now. These pieces reveal some of the breadth and depth of Jim's endless interest in the world and the people in it."
