In the Moment: A Disjointed Audiobiography

By Marko van Gaans

Two of the strongest triggers for our memories are smells and sounds, especially music. In the Moment is a disarray of autobiographical sketches shaped around a playlist of 44 songs. It is the examined narrative of moments that took the author's breath away, vividly recalled by the music.

With tales from his eight years as a non-commissioned officer in the Royal Netherlands Army; his travels through Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas; and his life as an expat in Laos. In the Moment is a brutally honest global rollercoaster of hot-blooded highs and lows.

A quixotic polemicist by nature, Marko uses a street-savvy narration style and real-life stories to connect with you at an intimate, intense and individual level.

Like a Rothko canvas, this memoir is "an occasion for the sadness in the author to meet the sadness in you, and that way, everyone will be less lonely."
