James Salter's mind and imagination raced with ideas during the last months of the Second World War, the decade he later said was the most creative of his life. The austere prose of his previous works now seemed to leaven, and once the war was won, his books took on a lively inventiveness. A perfect marriage of form and content, the masterpiece Light Years reflects Salter's own inner life at this time, and combines the austere elegance of a medieval romance with the sense of doom and depression that his generation had begun to experience. Light Years, which is sometimes called Salter's Book of Days, is at once a historical and a modern saga, a chronicle of the end of the world. It centres on the lives of a handful of European people and how they are affected by the political events, from the Spanish civil war, through the Nazi occupation of France, to the bombing of London in the second half of the war. Salter has said that his use of footnotes, which often open a separate, longer narrative that comments on events and characters, was an attempt to force readers to become involved in his story. Light Years is a remarkable work and as well as being one of the most important novels of the century, it is also one of the few books of its length that is never out of print. In this new version of the book, Salter himself has replaced the original footnotes and they have been completely rewritten, so the whole book has been edited, corrected and updated by the author himself. Salter's typical eeriness, his use of enigmatic symbols, and his skill at exploring the complexity of human relationships, have never been more perfectly exemplified than in this masterpiece.
