I read Light Years and Sport in the past.
And Burning the Days.
And James Salter had sort of a literary version of what my dad had.
I mean, he had charisma as a prose writer.
I mean, he had a beautiful, beautiful, rare prose style.
Yes.
That he could basically sell any story, including that story.
Yes.
Okay, so this is really interesting because I wrote that in there.
Why?
In your bookstore.
Because I wanted to talk about moral injury.
Because I think that living with my dad and worshiping at the altar of my dad constituted a sort of moral injury.
Mm-hmm.
And I think that my book, I mean, there's a lot of things that are never mentioned in my book.
A lot of words that are never said.
Trauma being one of them.
Sex addiction being another.
Even abuse comes as a surprise to me.
It's not part of the palette of words that I'm using.
