Diver Mind Mania Luther Eston Woodard III

Diver Mind Mania is a philosophical treatise covering various areas such as metaphysics, theology, political philosophy, and sport as a unique social institution. The text is highly existentialist in nature and uses a discursive format to convey the mania inside the mind of a former champion springboard diver. The author is African-American and juxtaposes these cultural experiences with elitist motifs that few people outside of the majority ever encounter. His collection of poetry and short stories objectively correlates a glimpse inside of a Yale University student's mind.
