A Sport and a Pastime is a novel by American writer James Salter, first published in 1967. The novel tells the love story between Phillip Dean, an American university student traveling through Europe, and Anne-Marie Costallat, a young French woman. The story, evoked in all its erotic splendor, comes to us through the imagination of a solitary compatriot of Phillip. The disdain for social conventions, the unconditional surrender to pleasure, and indolence are delineated here with a concise language.

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.
