Edgar Saltus’s widow sets out to explain a man of contradictions: brilliant stylist, recluse, hater of the ordinary pleasures of others and tender rescuer of stray cats. Writing from close knowledge, and with a believer’s interest in reincarnation, she describes his habits, friendships, work and final years.
An unusual, deeply personal memoir for readers of Saltus and of fin-de-siècle American letters. Download the free EPUB.
