ⓘ About Noah Gordon

Noah Gordon is a literary and historical fiction author born in Worcester Massachusetts. He was born on Armistice Day on November 11, 1926, as the second child of Robert Gordon and his wife Rose Gordon. He was named after his paternal grandmother Noah Melnikoff that was deceased a few months earlier. He had been by all accounts a wonderful man who ran a bookbinding business. He had left Sarah Melnikoff, Noah’s grandmother behind and the woman who would be like a second mother to him lived with the family for more than three decades. Worcester, where the author spent much of his childhood was a working-class neighborhood and he has asserted that he loved it.
