Small Malcolm

by James Nelson

Featuring an array of tragicomic disasters and personal struggles, James Nelson's alternative take on epilepsy is engaging, informative and engineered with humour. Regarding laughter as a key coping mechanism for what is a largely misunderstood medical condition, James aspires to raise awareness and aid fellow sufferers in this debut, which offers a respite from customary medical records. "It's incredibly refreshing to read such an honest and enlightening account of living with epilepsy. It is a vivid description of an invisible disability, told with humour and humility". Suzanne O'Sullivan (Winner of the Wellcome Book Prize 2016 , 'It's All in Your Head')

About the author

Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.

James Nelson works for a Fortune 500 company that requires extensive international travel. He researches and writes from the central East Coast of Florida and various cities around the world. James enjoys his family, cycling, paddle boarding, backpacking, and almost everything outdoors. He graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy, where he discovered the hard way that the innocent-sounding term "well-rounded education" did not include the concept of fun. After spending what seemed like endless time in math, physics, computer science, other sciences, assorted engineering, thermodynamics, law, history, English, various other humanities, social sciences, continuous military training, and athletic requirements, he was finally able to complete a double major in economics and management. Rugby helped to restore some sanity. The heavy course load did prove valuable in the active-duty Air Force as well as the private sector. A broad educational background was also beneficial in researching and writing a book like Magnificent Generation due to the numerous topics discussed.
