Description
La última noche is a collection of ten masterful short stories by James Salter, exploring themes of love, disillusionment, desire, and solitude. Through intimate portrayals of relationships between men and women, Salter reveals his preoccupations with the human experience.
The title story, described as an "indiscutible work of art" by Frank Conroy, tells the tale of a woman dying of cancer who asks her husband and friend to help her end her life, with unexpected consequences for all three. Salter's prose is characteristically evocative, conjuring a world of light and shadow without resolution.
With his characteristic subtlety, Salter probes the interplay between happiness and heartache, and whether we change or repeat ourselves over time. His writing is marked by simplicity and profundity, uncovering the essence of human experience through the art of storytelling.
