Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780679643623.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJames Salter is an author with an impassioned following among contemporary readers, writers, and critics, and Dusk and Other Stories is among his signal achievements. First published nearly a quarter-century ago, and one of the very few short-story collections to win the PEN\/Faulkner Award, this is American fiction at its most vital—each narrative a masterpiece of sustained power and seemingly effortless literary grace.\n\nThese stories chart the myriad moments and details that, taken together, shape a fate. Two New York attorneys newly flush with wealth embark on a dissolute tour of Italy. A divorced woman learns that she is about to lose the last thing of real value to her. An ambitious young screenwriter unexpectedly discovers the true meaning of art and glory. A rider, far off in the fields, is involved in an horrific accident—night is falling, and she must face her destiny alone.\nEach of these stories is told with weighted calm, with a lingering mixture of precision and sudden revelation. They confirm James Salter as one of the finest writers of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Modern Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44985879625781,"sku":"ByrdShop_0679643621","price":47.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780679643623_4bb234dd-c6c4-4e69-8e5a-7ec20d53b6d2.jpg?v=1778749488","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/dusk-and-other-stories-modern-library-9780679643623","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
