James and Kay Salter

As a couple Jim (1925–2015) and Kay Salter embodied an inspired domesticity evident in their book of days, Life Is Meals, which combines culinary, literary, and personal lore in a companionable celebration of life. Jim’s other books include the novels Light Years, A Sport and a Pastime, and All That Is (2013), as well as the indelible memoir, Burning the Days. Kay’s plays include Yr. Obedient Servant and Someone. Jim and Kay collaborated previously on a book about the Louvre, written in dialogue.
