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.
