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.
