{"product_id":"the-art-of-fiction","title":"The Art of Fiction","description":"\u003cp\u003eJames Salter’s exalted place in American letters is based largely on the intense admiration of other writers, but his work resonates far beyond the realm of fellow craftsmen, addressing themes--youth, war, erotic love, marriage, life abroad, friendship--that speak to us all. Following the publication of his first novel, Salter left behind a military career of great promise to write full-time and--through decades of searching, exacting work--became one of American literature’s master stylists. Only months before he died, at the age of eighty-nine, he agreed to serve as the first Kapnick Writer-in-Residence at the University of Virginia, where he composed and delivered the three lectures presented in this book and introduced by his friend and fellow novelist, National Book Award-winning author John Casey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003ePublished: 2016\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: University of Virginia Press\u003cbr\u003ePages: 77\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eISBN 13: 9780813939056\u003cbr\u003eISBN 10: 0813939054\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James Salter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49968010068234,"sku":"","price":23.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9780813939056.jpg?v=1726759950","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/the-art-of-fiction","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
