Exponential -- 2003

[Nathan "N.R.", James Mayn]

This collection of essays is only available in Italian. Some of these are available in English at Joe's website: http://www.josephmcelroy.com/writings/2

Dzanc has announced, if by hiding a comment in the about the author paragraph at the end of his newly published Cannonball constitutes an announcement, that Joe's collection of essays, Exponential, will be published in expanded form in the near future--in English. Unfortunately, at the moment they only have an ebook planned.

Also announced, something I've never had an inkling about, Joe has three short plays which Dzanc will be publishing.

So then I've found an essay I don't believe I knew existed previously but now I do and

"Thoughts about Consciousness while Cutting in the Brain" September 2004, in Shambhala Sun :: http://www.shambhalasun.com/index.php...

"Neurosurgeon Werner Doyle changes people's experience of life for the better by removing parts of their brains. Yet he knows that mind is not matter, cells are not consciousness. Novelist Joseph McElroy watches Doyle at work in the operating room, and together they ponder the mystery of brain and mind."

I can only guess, not read it yet, that this will mesh well with what he's up to in Plus.
