He was a small-town boy who burst onto the international golf scene with a dramatic hook shot from deep in the woods to win the Masters— before the game he loved almost killed him. Opening up about the toll that chasing and achieving his dream of being a champion golfer took on his mental health, Bubba Watson shares his powerful story of the breaking point that gave him clarity.

But every dream comes with a price. Feeling that he was never good enough, Bubba began to let the constant criticism from fans and commentators haunt his thoughts.

Red Eyes and the Human Horror Story
Author: James D. Patalon
Publisher: Outskirts Press
ISBN: 1478757868
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
The book had originally been titled THE HUMAN HORROR STORY! It was a very over descriptive novel that in many other opinions was just too graphic and gory! So although that novel had been decided by me to be put on a shelf for future revising, one of its chapters caught my attention. So I removed that particular chapter and began building a new story surrounding that specific idea and long and behold within four months I created my second novel RED EYES! I worked diligently on making sure that the subject matter although a horror story wouldn't upon being published offend anyone. So happy and relieved that the finished novel after several personal revisions was finally what I thought completed. How very wrong was I! The first project somehow decided to find itself added as an extension to the new novel! So once again I had to go in and perform surgery. Now both stories had to be merged to be one novel! So now I began thinking about a new title! Finally I came up with merging both titles into one! RED EYES AND THE HUMAN HORROR STORY! A SPINE -TINGLING ADVENTURE INTO UNKNOWN REALMS... Two men,each facing an unimaginable,inexplicable journey,each must face horrors and promises in an alternate reality that is both surreal and yet oddly familiar. One man suffering from depression,deals with his pain by imagining an easier world...until an accident pushes him into another realm,where he is reunited with a lost love,but also must face zombies and an evil demon. He must face the truth of the comforting illusions he created,but as his dream world becomes more and more compelling and satisfying,what will happen when he has to return to real life? The second man enters an alternate reality by committing suicide,an act that,as he has been warned,will have serious consequences. He is reunited with his soulmate,but they can't stay in the reality they currently inhabit. An adversary that they thought they had destroyed is back,and they must face him again...and,to their horror,they come to learn that they must defeat their demons over and over,as they move to new realms; the price for taking your own life is to be doomed to move continually from one reality to the next. Red Eyes and the Human Horror Story is a thrilling,endlessly inventive exploration of the ways in which imagination shapes our reality...and how reality shapes our dream worlds.

The Indignant Generation
Author: Lawrence P. Jackson
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400836239
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 596
Book Description
Recovering the lost history of a crucial era in African American literature The Indignant Generation is the first narrative history of the neglected but essential period of African American literature between the Harlem Renaissance and the civil rights era. The years between these two indispensable epochs saw the communal rise of Richard Wright, Gwendolyn Brooks, Ralph Ellison, Lorraine Hansberry, James Baldwin, and many other influential black writers. While these individuals have been duly celebrated, little attention has been paid to the political and artistic milieu in which they produced their greatest works. With this commanding study, Lawrence Jackson recalls the lost history of a crucial era. Looking at the tumultuous decades surrounding World War II, Jackson restores the "indignant" quality to a generation of African American writers shaped by Jim Crow segregation, the Great Depression, the growth of American communism, and an international wave of decolonization. He also reveals how artistic collectives in New York, Chicago, and Washington fostered a sense of destiny and belonging among diverse and disenchanted peoples. As Jackson shows through contemporary documents, the years that brought us Their Eyes Were Watching God, Native Son, and Invisible Man also saw the rise of African American literary criticism—by both black and white critics. Fully exploring the cadre of key African American writers who triumphed in spite of segregation, The Indignant Generation paints a vivid portrait of American intellectual and artistic life in the mid-twentieth century.
