About

Born in the Bronx, Neil Perry Gordon is the eldest son to Elaine and Walter Gordon. At the age of seven years old, Neil’s family moved from the Bronx, to the suburban community of Rockland County.

As serendipity would have it, the Green Meadow Waldorf School was located a mile from their home. Soon, Neil and his brother Craig and sister June were attending the innovative private school. Neil graduated as the first high school class in 1976.

Neil earned his Bachelor degree in Marketing from Pace University. Shortly after graduation in 1980, he moved to south Florida and started a drapery business. In 1990, he relocated back to New York and still operates his business, Decorating with Fabric. He has two adult sons, Samuel and Maximilian.

Neil has written two professional trade books. The first one, The Designer’s Coach, focuses on assisting designers in building a successful business. His most recent publication, An Architect’s Guide to Engineered Shading Solutions, instructs professionals on the techniques of implementing window coverings into their building projects.

A Cobbler’s Tale is Neil’s first work of fiction.

When Loss Becomes Art

Hamnet, Hamlet, and the loss of my son After watching Hamnet, I found myself thinking about Shakespeare, my son Sam, and the unbearable work of turning loss into art. Not the romantic version of that idea. Not the comforting notion that suffering somehow becomes beautiful if one is gifted enough to transform it. I do not believe that. The death of a child is not redeemed by art. It is not balanced by art. It is not justified because something meaningful may later come from it. There is no...

Six Shocking Truths About the Battle of Attu

The Brutal Reality Behind America’s Most Overlooked WWII Conflict There are places in the world that don’t feel like they belong to us. Not because they’re distant. Because they resist memory. Attu is one of those places. Far out in the Aleutian chain—past where most maps stop being useful—there is an island of black rock, wind, and silence. In 1943, American soldiers stepped into freezing surf there and climbed into something far more dangerous than an enemy. They climbed into terrain that...
