A fictional take about the destructive power of silence, What's in a Name reinforces, according to something Iyanla Vanzant once said, that "the name of a man is a soul and a sword."

Enjoy communication through storytelling

Garie strives to use grammar, diction and the gamut of literary devices to make his writing compelling. These inexorable tools of literary fiction underpin the subjects and themes he feels are important.

Garie is drawn to telling stories that are social allegories. He uses this theme to explore the human condition, delve into the psyche and explore why we are the way we are and do the things we do. Letting go is also a prominent theme.

Allegorical

Timeless

Garie writes postmodernist fiction, using its fractured or nonlinear prose to deeply explore his characters. His narratives take his readers along the path of a character-story structure or an idea-story structure.
