I'm interesed in reading his novel A Sport and a Pastime and short stories collection Dusk and Other Stories, but english isn't my first language, and I would like to know how difficult it's?

Salter should be easy to read for a second-language speaker. He's more in the Hemingway style than the Faulkner style.
I've read a few of his books, and Solo Faces was especially memorable.

Thanks for respond.

He is minimal as hell so it should be easy for you. I've only read Last Night and it didn't make much of an impression on me.

I thought Light Years was his best novel. Solo Faces was a fun read too. I thought A Sport and A Pastime was a little disappointing. I was told it was an erotica classic...not a lot of boners for me but ymmv

I read The Hunters. I thought his prose plain and uninteresting, but his characters at least went into some nice, if typical, introspective moments about war and humanity. Not something I'd recommend to anyone or voluntarily read, but you could do worse than it.

He's great. He killed Russians in the War and doesn't afraid of anything.
