Leon Levy Center for Biography retweeted
“The silence was mounting, like a bill that would have to be paid.” Astoundingly good prose (duh: Salter), but reads more like a film treatment than a fleshed-out novel — unsurprising, given that it apparently started life as a script for Robert Redford, who rejected it.
@lancerichardson Love Salter, all of him, even this underrated relatively thin-on-the-ground novel, which has many amazing moments. Cf Coetzee's Disgrace, which has a comparable screenplay-like thinness. But the line you quote is fantastic, classic Salter. Thank you for highlighting it, Lance!
