Besides novels and short stories, he has also written plays, musicals, and film scenarios, as well as worked as an editor. Active politically in Lithuania's independence movement, he was one of the signatories to the Act of the Reestablishment of the State of Lithuania in 1990 and served as Minister of Culture from 1994 to 1996. In 2020 Saltenis won the Lithuanian National Prize for his contributions to Lithuanian literature.
