Light Years
James SalterJames Ellson** plot spoiler ** Anyone read Light Years by James Salter? This is p203 and includes the line in 1st person 'I wish it could have been otherwise.' This feels like Salter's opinion - I think it works in that it adds great emphasis. Anyone agree / disagree? #WritingCommunity https://t.co/atM3HgK7Rz
