After consulting the Dangerous Book of Gnomes, I am perhaps closer to positing a theory of my current predicament.
According to chapter 37, there is a phenomena amongst gnomes sometimes known as Transgnomic Travel, wherein a gnome's spirit is released and roams the earth after his physical shell has been destroyed or abandoned, to settle into a new one when the chance arrives.
Was this how I ended up in the Here and Now?
My first memory begins in a garden of the Goytisolo family in Spain, and the last before the Strange Gap (as I have named it) is the arrival of men in jackboots to arrest the senior Goystisolo.
Fascists! Or again: maybe Republicans.
Its all a lot for a Gnome to take in. Meanwhile I have fashioned for myself a fishing rod and am looking for suitable material for a proper pipe.
