Arm of Flesh by James Salter
The lives of officers in an Air Force squadron in occupied Europe encompass the contradictions of military experience and the men's response to a young newcomer, bright and ambitious, whose fate is to be an emblem of their own. In Cassada, Salter captures the strange comradeship of loneliness, trust, and alienation among military men ready to sacrifice all in the name of duty and pride. After futile attempts at ordinary revision, Salter elected to begin with a blank page, to compose an entirely new novel based upon the characters and events of his second long unavailable novel, The Arm of Flesh. The result, Cassada, is a masterpiece.James Salter has written nine volumes, including A Sport and a Pastime, Dusk and Other Tales, which won the 1989 PEN/Faulkner Prize, and Burning the Days: Recollection. Kay Salter is a journalist and writer who has contributed to magazines such as The New York Times and Food & Wine. Fabrice Moireau is a graphic artist, illustrator, and set and product designer who lives in Colorado and Long Island. With his wife and children, he resides in Olivet, France.
