OF COURSE YOU DID

ABOUT THE BOOK

“How’d you like to be the enslaved consort of an alien princess?”
“Why? You’ll describe her as a lizard creature or something.”

Tom, a failed science fiction writer, explores his own life and his relationship with his older brother Pete, in three dimensions. In Of Course You Did, Geoff Moore cleverly blends the past, present and future to tell the story of the bond between the world’s most dangerously average brothers—one that transcends space and time.
Geoff Moore crafted what was one of the most memorable books of the year, a novella in three parts that is both heartwarming and gut-wrenching.

Of Course You Did is the tale of Tom, a writer trying his best to keep his life together while working through his latest story. We get glimpses of this work in progress, experience flashbacks to get context on his life and see how certain decisions brought him to his current situation.

Ultimately, it’s a story about reflection and taking stock, understanding how past choices bring us to our present. Without giving away more, what kicked off as a campy sci-fi story developed so deeply, this reader was moved to tears.

This is Moore at his quirky best: very funny and more poignant than ever.

TWISTED TIME TRAVEL
​
Geoff Moore's newest novella is a tragedy in three parts. Of Course You Did tracks the present, the past and the science fiction "future" of its protagonist, Tom, a man caught between three worlds.

Each chapter features a scene from the science fiction story he's been writing where friends and family play the leading roles, slowly unveiling the whole story of Tom's life to this point.

​But what starts as a straightforward story about a man drifting through life becomes something more.
