Omar Gonzalez

The Phantom Pain (eBook, ePUB)

A Memoir

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In his debut collection, The Phantom Struggle: A Memoir, author Omar Gonzalez examined the personal experiences that defined his life from childhood through his late teenage years-domestic violence, adventure, love and heartache, and much more. Omar returns to his trademark mixture of poetry and prose in this direct sequel, diving into the more mature and stronger themes that defined his early adult years. The result, The Phantom Pain: A Memoir, explores Omar's journey as a young adult. Whereas The Phantom Struggle saw Omar able to rely on the powerful bonds between him and his mother and brother, here he finds himself alone in a world that has become strenuous and demanding for him to traverse. No small feat given the emotional and psychological scarring from his childhood. Ultimately Omar becomes someone who blurs the line between what's ethically right and wrong, someone able to justify his actions using his own moral compass, no matter how questionable his actions may be.

Autorenporträt

Omar Gonzalez is a former member of the US Armed Forces and is currently a Doctor of Physical Therapy. More notably, Omar is also an award-winning author, having released his first book, The Phantom Struggle: Memoirs of a Life Once Struggling, in the late summer of 2020. The product of a turbulent, alcohol-ridden, and low-income home, he has been homeless and was not afforded the opportunity of having an all-around safe and fun childhood. However, when speaking to him directly, he would never disclose such information. Instead, Omar would like for people to read about his various experiences in life. Whether it is encountering abuse, love, heartache, religion, or self-discovery, he has a poem or story for such an experience. When he is not busy with professional endeavors, Omar spends his time thinking of ways to write about his life or others' lives and does not shy away from using fantastic elements to convey his message. Omar yearns to write emotion-driven stories that captivate the readers' spectrum of emotions and imagination so that they feel and see the story unfold before them.
