title: Dusk and Other Stories (Modern Library)
author:  James Salter 
description: &ldquo;[James Salter] can suggest in a single sentence, an individual&rsquo;s entire history, the complex interplay of longing and fear, hope and need, that has brought about the present. In doing so, these stories glimmer with the magic of fiction; they pull us, hungrily, into the mundane drama of their characters&rsquo; lives.&rdquo;&mdash;<i>New York Times</i><br>&#160;<br>&ldquo;Salter&rsquo;s prose is rare and stunning.&rdquo;&mdash;John Irving<br>&#160;<br>&ldquo;Salter inhabits the same rarified heights as Flannery O&rsquo;Connor, Paul Bowles, Tennessee Williams, and John Cheever.&rdquo;&mdash;<i>Washington Post Book World<br>&#160;</i><br>&ldquo;There is scarcely a writer alive who could not learn from his passion and precision of language.&rdquo;&mdash;Peter Mathiessen<br>&#160;<br>&ldquo;Admirers of James Salter&rsquo;s fiction speak of it reverently, with delicacy, almost in awe, expressions of enthusiasm befitting the work.&rdquo;&mdash;Elizabeth Benedict
