All The Time We Thought We Had

"A triumph... original and devastatingly clear-eyed" - Rosemary Goring Book cover

“THAT WAS I. THAT WAS ME. THAT WAS THE AUTHOR OF THIS BLOG.” (SORRY, KURT)

I am Gordon Darroch. I was born in 1974 in Norwich, spent most of my adult years in Glasgow and now live in The Hague. My ancestors were Scottish; my two descendants are a Scottish/English/Dutch melange. My own status is opaque. In both my professional life and my spare time, I work with words. The former pays the bills, the latter nourishes the soul. Mine at least. I’d hate to think what it does to others. This, anyhows, is a domain for my creative oozings. Feel free to wander about and leave your footprints. Mental refreshments are provided. Take your time; real life can wait.
