The author of several memorable works of fiction--including \u003ci\u003eDusk and Other Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the PEN\/Faulkner Award--he is also celebrated for his memoir \u003ci\u003eBurning the Days\u003c\/i\u003e and many nonfiction essays. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn her preface, Kay Eldredge Salter writes, \"\u003ci\u003eDon't Save Anything\u003c\/i\u003e is a volume of the best of Jim's nonfiction--articles published but never collected in one place until now. Though those many boxes were overflowing with papers, in the end it's not really a matter of quantity. These pieces reveal some of the breadth and depth of Jim's endless interest in the world and the people in it . . . One of the great pleasures in writing nonfiction is the writer's feeling of exploration, of learning about things he doesn't know, of finding out by reading and observing and asking questions, and then writing it down. That's what you'll find here.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis collection gathers Salter's thoughts on writing and profiles of important writers, observations of the changing American military life, evocations of Aspen winters, musings on mountain climbing and skiing, and tales of travels to Europe that first appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEsquire\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePeople\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCondé Nast Traveler\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eAspen Times\u003c\/i\u003e, among other publications.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Salter\u003c\/b\u003e was a novelist, short story writer, screenwriter, and essayist. Born in 1925, Salter grew up in New York City and was a career officer and Air Force pilot until his mid-thirties, when the success of his first novel \u003ci\u003eThe Hunters\u003c\/i\u003e led to a fulltime writing career. Salter's potent, lyrical prose has earned him acclaim from critics, readers, and fellow novelists. He was the recipient of a PEN\/Faulkner Award and the PEN\/Malamud Award, among others.
