I have discovered that there is a nother writer by the name of Terry Grimwood. I didn't even know thre was another person with that name, let alone a writer. Someone at work put all our names into Google for a laugh to find alternative versions of ourselves. One of mine has been done for attemtped murder in the USA and the writer has published a book on racing car maintenance. There are those who would say, of course, that one of these is an upstart imposter and that there is only one real Terry Grimwood who can actually write - and that his advice on spark plugs and engine tuning were very helpful indeed. Doppelgangers anyone? Cheers Terry Grimwood, Terry Grimwood and, not forgetting, Terry | ||

That's nothing, judging by all the books with his name on, there are about seven writers going by the name Gary McMahon | ||

Was it our Gary McMahon who wrote the one about the history of being camp? | ||

There are a few people with my name, my dad for one. I don't think he's on Facebook, so I get his friend requests. | ||

I was named after my grandfather, so . . . I have a photograph of his tombstone with his and my name on it. | ||

There was a poet named John Forth who wrote a collection thrillingly entitled A Ladder And Some Glasses. Never read any of his verse though. | ||

I know of no other person with my name (my real one, not Weber) There's one or two with my surname who spell Mark with a K rather than the C my mother spelt it with... but I've yet to track down anyone who spells it like me. | ||

Somebody by my name wrote a non-fiction book called Nice Job about unusual avenues of employment throughout the world (or at least the country.) If I am ever in a position to publish a collection, I shall have to fight the urge to use the same title... | ||

There's a composer called Gary Fry in the States, and an academic in Norway. And loads of us on Facebook. | ||

Frank Duffy is not my real name. Originally it was Stephen King. I had to change it because of this American dude, who also happened to be a writer. Funny, eh. | ||

"That's nothing, judging by all the books with his name on, there are about seven writers going by the name Gary McMahon" Ah, but in a very D F Lewis-ian sort of nemonimous way I am pondering...are we a different person each time we write something, does our experience and place in the world at that time create a new vesion of us, like a brand new reptile revealed by its shed skin? Or am I just muttering nonsense again? | ||

Hey, my online musings on this issue preceded Nem's by a good few years.  Btw, I would say that that question only makes sense if you assume that identity is something which is fixed and definable, rather a contextually derived performance. |
