Charisma (A Short Story From The Atlantic) (Fiction From The Atlantic)

5/5 ( ratings)

Exclusive to Kindle, James Salter’s Charisma is about the power of certain men—a power beyond such qualities as emotional depth, sense of humor, sensitivity, the ability to commit, or any of the points on the usual check list—to attract and hold independent women. Leyla's preoccupations are not those of her lover, Paolo, and his needs are not hers, but they overwhelm her. This story is about that.

James Salter is the author of the novels Light Years, A Sport and A Pastime, Solo Faces, The Arm of Flesh , and The Hunters, the memoirs Gods of Tin and Burning the Days, and the collection Last Night. He lives in Colorado and on Long Island.

Language: English
