What a fitting stadium name in a sport that's supposedly America's pastime. Salter (A Sport and its Pastime, 1967) will deliver a reading in UAlbany's Campus Center on April 4 at 8 p.m. Guernica: Was there anything about the reception of A Sport and a Pastime that surprised you? He is 85 now, regarded with awe by writers but largely unknown to the general reader. James Salter is the American author of A Sport and A Pastime, Light Years and other books. And it's in a city where there's an opening day parade and the day is an official city holiday. Salter's earlier works were generally books about how men measure themselves: against women (A Sport and a Pastime, Light Years) or against themselves (The Hunters, Solo Faces). James Salter: Well it seemed to me that A Sport and a Pastime was the first novel I wrote that didn't have amateur touches. Rose Garden- Portland Trail Blazers.
