Salter accepting the Hadada Prize in 2011. Photograph by Neil Rasmus.<\/p><\/div>\n

We were sad to learn that James Salter died on Friday at ninety. \u201cHe once called himself a \u2018frotteur,\u2019 saying he liked to rub words between his fingers,\u201d Louisa Thomas wrote today in <\/a>Grantland<\/a>. \u201cHe wrote for the ear, not the eye, in lines that are long and unspooling or short and taut as bowstrings \u2026 It is in their quiet accumulation, the way they weave together, that they become transparent, graceful, and devastating.\u201d<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n

Salter had a long affiliation with <\/em>The Paris Review; the quarterly<\/em> published many of his stories, beginning with \u201cSundays<\/a>\u201d, which appeared in our Summer 1966 issue. George Plimpton published Salter\u2019s novel <\/em>A Sport and a Pastime through <\/em>Paris Review Editions, a short-lived imprint attached to Doubleday. \u201cAlthough I have never managed to appear on the masthead, which has innumerable people on it,\u201d Salter said in his 1993 Art of Fiction interview<\/a>, \u201cI feel I am a member of the family.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In 2011, we awarded Salter our Hadada Prize, given annually to a \u201cdistinguished member of the literary community who has demonstrated a strong and unique commitment to literature.\u201d This week, to celebrate and remember him, the <\/em>Daily will rerun a series of pieces about him written in anticipation of that award. To begin, we\u2019re reprinting his acceptance speech, given April 12, 2011. <\/em>
<\/em><\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

Well of course I knew this was going to happen. Terry McDonell called me and he said, \u201cWe would like to give you the Hadada this year,\u201d and I said, \u201cTerry, it might be a better idea to give it to somebody a little younger.\u201d He said, \u201cNo, no, no, no, you are missing the point entirely.\u201d It turns out that in the African language from which the word comes, hadada means \u201cHail, great father.\u201d Ha-da-da.<\/p>\n

The Paris Review<\/em> was always the pinnacle, it was the place to be published, you were thrilled if you were published in The Paris Review<\/em>, and George Plimpton himself was practically mythical. He was a legendary figure.<\/p>\n

I had written a novel. It was A Sport and a Pastime<\/em>. And it had been turned down by publishers, four or five of them, and I thought I was probably wrong about it, it was not really any good. And then, through a friend, Bill Becker, it came to The Paris Review<\/em>. One day the phone rang, and I said \u201cHello.\u201d And a voice said, \u201cYes, hello, this is George Plimpton.\u201d He said, \u201cYou know, I have your novel, and I really like it, I like it very much. We\u2019d like to publish it.\u201d At that time, The Paris Review<\/em> had a small book publishing operation, they had published a handful of books. He said, \u201cWe\u2019d like to publish it.\u201d I said, \u201cThat\u2019s wonderful.\u201d He said, \u201cYes. But there is just one thing.\u201d\u00a0\u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0He said, \u201cI don\u2019t think that any really good novels are written in the first person.\u201d Of course, my mind went blank. I couldn\u2019t think of anything. I didn\u2019t know what to say to him except, suddenly it occurred to me, a book really far removed from the book we were talking about, that was the only thing I could think of, I said, \u201cWell, what about All Quiet on the Western Front<\/em>,\u201d and he said, \u201cYes, I suppose you\u2019re right.\u201d That was the end of the editing.<\/p>\n

Not long ago, maybe a half a dozen years ago The Paris Review<\/em> sponsored a reading at a Barnes and Noble in New York and I read there with Jim Shepard and George introduced the program. I had had a number of stories published in The Paris Review<\/em> at that time and when it came to my turn to read I stood up at the podium, I don\u2019t know what came over me, for some reason I said \u201cWell, this is a new story, it has never been published, I don\u2019t think it is the kind of story The Paris Review<\/em> would be interested in,\u201d and then I read it. It was a story called \u201cBangkok<\/a>,\u201d\u00a0it happens to read very well. And I could see that people were interested, and I finished it, and I came towards the back again, and there was George, and he said, \u201cWhat do you mean, this is something The Paris Review<\/em> wouldn\u2019t be interested in? Give me that thing!\u201d And he grabbed it out of my hand, and that was the last of the editing he did for me. So you can see why I esteem and revere him. It would be hard to get too serious about an award, about a prize with this silly name, a hadada, but it means a great deal to me and I consider it in the light of the writers who have won it before me, who are an esteemed bunch. This, I don\u2019t think I can lift it, is the Hadada. And I can only say that tonight thank you all, this is my Stockholm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
