«El arte de la ficción» is James Salter's essay on the craft of writing, published by Ediciones Salamandra in paperback (112 pages, in Spanish).
It collects the three lectures James Salter gave at the University of Virginia. In an intimate tone, he recalls his key authors and books and examines the difficulties of the craft: rejections, adverse reviews and financial hardship. Facing the blank page, he defends a style that captures real experience, because what is not written down fades away.
It belongs to the Salamandra Narrativa collection; the Spanish edition was published on 5 April 2018.
For writers and readers who want to know James Salter's view on literary creation and his essential reading.
James Arnold Horowitz, better known as James Salter, his pen name and later-adopted legal name, was an American novelist and short-story writer. Originally a career officer and pilot in the United States Air Force, he resigned from the military in 1957 following the successful publication of his first novel, The Hunters.
