  • Hi! My Name is John

    Hi. My name is John. Among other things, I am The Orchid Thief. Somewhat like Adaptation features Charlie and a fictitious brother Donald Kaufman, my story involves two Johns. John Laroche, my given name and John Stafford, a new name selected for a new life.

    These are the main characters in my story. Some of the names have been changed to protect the innocent (or guilty).
