James Salter recommends
Breaking & Entering
Breaking & Entering (1980)
Joy Williams
"Breaking & Entering is in the company of Celine, Flannery O'Connor and Margeret Atwood... Joy Williams demolishes other writers."

The Navigation Log (2002)
Martin Corrick
"The Navigation Log flies like an arrow, swift and true. You may weep, but you will also thrill."
Tourist Season
Tourist Season (2007)
Enid Shomer
"[When reading Enid Shomer's stories], the thing one quickly senses is the will and the voice, someone saying, in effect, 'Relax, be comfortable, I'm going to take good care of you.' These are very fine stories."
