Summary

From his experiences as a naval officer in Japan during World War II, Philip Bowman returns to America and becomes a book editor. He soon inhabits a world where affairs ignite, alcohol reigns, writers struggle, and publishers hustle. As one marriage goes bad and another fails to happen; he meets a woman who enthralls, then betrays him, setting him on a course he could never have imagined for himself.

Critic reviews

"The best novel I’ve read in years. All That Is will be treasured by its readers…Once again he has delivered to us a novel of the highest artistry." (Tim O'Brien)
"Salter is the contemporary writer most admired and envied by other writers…he can, when he wants, break your heart with a sentence" ( Washington Post)
"A beautiful novel, with sufficient love, heartbreak, vengeance, identity, confusion, longing, and euphoria of language to have satisfied Shakespeare" (John Irving)

love the style

love James Salter love his Style but listening to it on Audible , sometimes you have to really concentrate to know who the narrator is talking about; can't just flick back in the book to see where that person came in or, like on Kindle, check out all the references to them.
