About the author

Todd Garlington spent his childhood in the Australian Capital Territory and his youth in the San Francisco Bay Area. Film school brought him to Los Angeles, but a love of language ultimately prevailed over an interest in images. He graduated from the University of Southern California with a Masters in Professional Writing. After a rigorous stint in film and television where he served more as a factotum than a wordsmith, he transitioned to the vocation of independent author. His written work explores temporality, decadence, and the paradoxes of personal and cultural identity.

Reviews

[Camille · Rating 4 out of 5]

Entertaining and poignant. Very quick read, but worth revisiting over and over so you can ponder and quote at people.

“Joy— a perspective still able to find beauty during hardship”

“Insecurity— the consciousness of an animal that requires reasons to live”
