JAMES SALTER’S DAYS IN FILM
James Salter was a pilot in the United States Air Force. He abandoned the military profession
in 1957 after the publication of his first novel, The Hunters. He is best known as a novelist, but
during the sixties and seventies, he worked in film making. Salter made documentaries, wrote
texts for films, and even was the director of a film called Three, starring Charlotte Rampling
and Sam Waterston. In Passionate Falsehoods, which was adapted from Salter’s book
Burning the Days, published in The New Yorker in 1997, Salter tells the story of his life in film.
Salter’s time in the film world is both good and bad. In Rome, he met directors and stars. In
New York, he explored the city with Robert Redford and enjoyed being famous. Deborah
Treisman and Michael Agger have talked about Salter. Nick Paumgarten in The Last Book,
describes Salter’s opinion about his film career: “Of sixteen texts for movies, only four were
popular. There was money, attractive women, and entrance into rooms where there were
stories more for the dinner table than for the page.” Salter thought he was wasting his time.
Perhaps he wasted his time in a larger artistic way, but it still makes for attractive reading. The
Last Book is available to everyone in online stores.
