Last Night

Начало книги

“Last Night is a book for anyone who’s ever loved, lusted, or longed. This mature collection of ten stories is sexy and somber at the same time. . The title story is an unforgettable masterpiece that could rank with Anton Chekhov’s ‘The Lady with the Dog’ as one of the great stories of contemporary literature. . Salter astonishes us and is as unpredictable as life itself.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer

“[Salter’s] stories unfold with dreamlike fluidity in an atmosphere of shadows and indistinct forms, like watercolors in a dark palette. . It’s a measure of James Salter’s writerly gifts that one wishes each of his stories longer. . Fascinating, lyric, memorable, poignant, harrowing, powerful.”

— The New York Review of Books

“Unpredictably brilliant. . Beautiful. . Salter is still writing taboo-breaking stories. Their aim [is] to prick through pomposity to the person beneath. . Brazen and honest.” —Financial Times
