Elpsis Boo is part one of an ongoing series of 'Erogements' being written by Michael J Rowland. Through literary experimentation and Dadaist word play, Michael is telling the eternal story of man in search of a soul and a soul mate. Elpsis Boo was written in Prague over a period of three years and incorporates many local scenes which helped inspire the creation of the book. For Michael there is a strong mystical element to the novel as well as one of profound logic. The obscurity of meaning in some passages is not a deliberate attempt to confuse the reader, but a Delphic predator hidden within each page; a celebration of the joy of writing and of having to use 'words' to answer our deepest philosophical questions despite the disturbing lack of power a word has in comparison to the awesome simplicity of 'being'. There is comedy, poetry and philosophy in the pages of Elpsis Boo; there is also a beginning, a middle and an end to be found in every syllable.
