In April 2014, Salter spoke in an interview about his life and work, shortly after publishing ‘All That Is’ (‘All that is’), his first novel since 1979.
“I do not think many of my ideas have changed much, but my writing. I deliberately left philosophy behind, have written more directly, without metaphors. With age the poetry disappears, the capacity is lost to the surprise and amazement. But the energy I have, “he said Salter.
The writer born in Manhattan (New York) in 1925, who turned 90 just ten days ago, claimed in the interview still thinking the same thing he wrote in 1975 in his novel ‘Light Years’. that life left in the anteroom to the knowledge and surrenders to the passion, energy and lying
He recognized, too, the weight they had in his career eroticism and sensuality that marked his 1967 novel.
“Sex is for me something of immense importance, but the kind of importance that flows naturally, that no it raises questions, “he said.

In 2014, Salter was nominated for the Prince of Asturias Award for Literature, which finally went to the Irish John Banville.
