Annotation

All That Is explores a life unfolding in a world on the brink of change. The life is that of Philip Bowman and we see his formative experiences as a young naval officer in battles off Okinawa, his career as a book editor in New York after the Second World War, his trips to the great European cities – from publishing parties in London, to romantic holidays in Paris. But despite his success, what eludes him is love. His first marriage sours, another fails to happen. Finally, he meets a woman who enthralls him, before setting him on a course he could never imagine for himself. James Salter’s dazzling, seductive and haunting novel offers a fiercely intimate account of the great shocks and grand pleasures of being alive.
