A golfer loved for his courage & charisma, Darren Clarke has the crowds behind him. They know he is a warm, funny raconteur who likes a Guinness, who both works hard & plays hard. More important, they know that this man pulled himself up by his bootstraps, having lost his wife Heather to cancer, to triumph at the 2006 Ryder Cup. Just days before the start of the 2011 Open at Royal St George's, Darren's game had once again deserted him, leaving him 'putting like a man with blurred vision'. A month before his 43rd birthday he was not in a good place. But Heather was 'watching from above', the crowd were roaring him on, golf guru Dr Bob Rotella was telling him to 'go unconscious'
- & something sparked inside him. The rest is golfing history. Born in Dungannon, Northern Irel&, Darren caddied for his golf course greenkeeper father, turning pro in 1990. He has played in four victorious Ryder Cup sides & beat his close friend Tiger Woods in the 36-hole final of the 2000 WGC-Andersen Consulting Match Play. In 2002 he became the only player to win the English Open three times. In An Open Book he speaks candidly about fellow-players, coaches & golfing psychologists; about how he was bullied at school, narrowly missed & IRA bomb & eventually set up a foundation to develop junior golf in Ireland; & about how he found personal happiness again, marrying Alison Campbell in April 2012. Most vividly of all, he takes the reader down those rainswept fairways to the ecstasy of that final putt when, at his 20th attempt, he lifted the silver claret jug.

Product Description

What do Philip Pullman & J.K. Rowling have in common that has made both of their stories so successful? What does Pullman listen to while he writes – & who, or what, is Dust?

Pullman’s award-winning trilogy His Dark Materials has been appreciated by readers of all ages. It is now set to welcome new fans as it is adapted for television by the BBC in 2018, & the first part of his new trilogy, The Book of Dust, at last sees publication.

Nicholas Tucker, a leading authority on children’s literature, writes about the man he knows as a friend. Unpacking & examining Pullman’s life & the sources he drew on for his masterpiece, he explores the world of science, theology, imagination & adventure that Pullman has created.

Including a personal interview with Pullman himself, Darkness Visible offers a unique exploration of the author’s work – & its controversies.
