DAWN ANDREWS

Buffet Freud (Nemo 2)

Des says:

Another Nemo writer whom I do not expect currently to be able to contact.

Dawn was a friend from the Storyville Group. She still is a friend, of course, wherever she is now. A wonderful poet and prose writer. But significantly a very original 'fine artist' - who, inter alia, carried out the cover art for Jeff VanderMeer's and Forrest Aguirre's LEVIATHAN 3 anthology, plus involvement in the artwork of ALBUM ZUTIQUE.

And here is her appreciation of David Lynch:

PAUL EVANBY

Lucia (Nemo 3)

Getting On:
Great, plug space! Not that it matters, really. I'm a
slow writer, so there is not that much to report. A
story of mine, "i", has appeared in The Elastic Book
of Numbers, from Elastic Press. Another one,
"Hiçbiryer'e", is forthcoming in Harrington Gay Men's
Literary Quarterly. My Dutch alter ego, Paul Evenblij,
has had some more stuff appear in the Netherlands,
most notably my second short story collection "Gödel
Slam" (which, by the way, also contains the original
of "Lucia"). In short: I am working. More spam can be
found at http://www.paulevanby.net

The Before And Since:
I think I have the distinction of being the first
Dutch writer to appear in Nemonymous. Totally
subverting the editor's intention of letting the
stories speak for themselves, I hereby propose that
any Nemo's life is either pre-Evanby of post-Evanby.
What is the difference? Has Nemonymous become a better
megazanthus? Quality, of course, is in the mind of the
reader, so I really wouldn't dare to - What is
important to me, though, is that there are people like
Des Lewis, who just think of stuff like this. One man,
who dreams up late-labelling, and nemonymous
publishing, and who then creates a magazine out of a
single dropped moment of silence, which, listened to
in another context, turns out to be a deafening roar.
The difference, in the end, will not be the writer's,
but to writing itself.

JEFF VANDERMEER

The Mansions Of The Moon (Nemo 1)

Des says:

What can be said about Jeff that hasn’t already been said? Another friend from the Storyville group (and from long before Storyville when we were both involved in the hey-day of the transatlantic Small Press at the turn of the eighties into the nineties).

Jeff’s Nemo One story was one of the very first I accepted without knowing who had written it. It was sent to me with a female pseudonym, as Jeff himself recounts in his denemonisation ‘speech’ printed in Nemo 2.

Jeff is “as close to being *story*, to *being written* as is possible” as he says himself in HERMAPHRODITE BRIG. And his informative site is here: http://www.jeffvandermeer.com/

NEIL BRISTOW

White Dream (Nemo 2)

Des has found this oldish news on the internet:

"Neil has been writing short pieces of fiction for some time and has
had several pieces published in journals, including WHITE DREAM in
Nemonymous magazine (UK), which received an `Honourable Mention' in
London's Time Out, and his short story ALL YOU CAN EAT which was
published in Der Kleine Dilettante (Germany). He is currently working
on a novel. Neil's first play, LIES LAST, was submitted to Rough
Magic in 2004. Neil graduated from UCD with a BA (1st class honours)
in English and Philosophy."

This bio appears in a very interesting dramatic project in Ireland:

The last time I was in contact with Neil, he lived in Germany.
His denemonisation 'speech' said he "is very rarely seen and rarely heard of."
