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.

Swift Pizza and Sandwich House

Today we have the pleasure of showing you the best letter written by our customer
Mark. He wins £25 for writing about us this week. He is so happy with the orders at
Swift Pizza and Sandwich House that he wants to declare a holiday to celebrate his
experience here: “Happy burger day and Merry Sandwich as to everyone!” he wrote.
Wednesday May 18, 2011.
One typical day I was too tired after working all day long to cook for myself, and I was
very hungry. I really wanted something to eat, so I decided to find a burger.
I ordered a half-pound burger and a lamb and chicken sandwich. I also made some
special orders for extra cheese and vegetables.
Food arrived very fast (less than twenty minutes) and was hot and fresh. The burger
was delicious, and left me wanting more - fortunately I had the sandwich left. It felt as
if it had been cut just a minute before I opened it - juicy, fresh, and great.
Every single special request I made was completely satisfied, 100%!
And the best thing was that all of the above and some drinks cost me ONLY 10 dollars!
If that doesn’t say value for money, I don’t know what does.
It certainly feels great to find new excellent food delivery companies for whenever you
don’t feel like cooking yourself. I recently had a sad experience with my usual take
away restaurant, so I decided to change to something else - and on my first try I got
what I wanted! Order now from Swift Pizza and Sandwich House.
