James Arnold Horowitz (1925 - 2015), better known as James Salter, his pen name and later-adopted legal name, was an American novelist and short-story writer. 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.After a brief career in film writing and film directing, in 1979 Salter published the novel Solo Faces. Solo Faces exposes the obsession that draws climbers away from civilization to test themselves against the most intimidating and inaccessible mountains in the world. James Salter's novel captures the adventure of Gary, a roofer of churches, who feels restrained by conventions and flat ground. Unable to find happiness in his life, he travels to southern France to climb to the summits of the Alps. Salter was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 2000; and won the PEN/Malamud Award for excellence in short fiction in 2012; He won the first Windham-Campbell literary prize in 2013.
