Burning the Days: Recollection (Ambassador Book Awards)

Whether he is describing the icy purity of the Korean sky in the instant before it is shattered by a huge formation of MIGs, the light of Paris at dawn, or the glinting smile of a beautiful woman in a Roman cafe, Salter is an incomparable observer and storyteller. And "Burning the Days" is a dazzling meditation on time, desire, memory, and regret.
