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.
