On what would have been James Salter's ninety-first birthday, we revisit his 1979 novel, Solo Faces, with which he attempted to alter his prose style. "No fine writing," he promised himself. He went on to create a benchmark novel about climbers.
"I read the way one might stroll. … I feel myself to be a sacred trespasser…"
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
