Gabriel Harroch
The Keeper of Quiet Stories
Memoir-Inspired Fiction | Nostalgic Literary Fiction
Gabriel Harroch writes reflective, memory-driven fiction rooted in family, Montreal, and the fragile moments that shape a life. His stories live somewhere between memory and myth, where the past feels close enough to touch.
Before The Crowd Found Me
A Sephardic boy arrives in 1960s Montréal with no language and no footing, and spends nine years quietly learning to belong. Literary memoir-fiction about immigration, identity, and the slow miracle of calling a place home.
When The Crowd Still Roared
1980s Montréal, the Expos, and a young man caught between cultures and futures. A warm, honest memoir about first love, quiet fathers, and the summers when belonging still felt simple.
When The Crowd Last Roared
A Casablanca boy finds home in 1960s Montréal, through Canadiens roars, Expos summers, and strangers in crowds. A memoir about belonging, identity, and the ordinary moments that shape a life.
When Every Spring Was A Parade
Late-'70s Montréal, Stanley Cup parades, and a boy who found belonging in the crowd. A warm coming-of-age memoir about friendship, immigrant identity, and the golden seasons you don't know are ending until they're gone.
When Baseball Broke My Heart
Montréal, 1994: the Expos had the best team in baseball, then the strike took it all away. A personal memoir about losing a franchise, a city's dream, and the innocence that goes with them.
