Michael Moorcock & Iain Banks Cover to Cover

[@EmpyrionBlackthorn]

Thirty five years ago I was in my teens and what my friends and I did on the weekends was drive over one hundred miles to Atlanta to look for Moorcock novels in hole in the wall used book stores. Mike is a literary god and don't you EVER forget it.

Just bought the entire Corum series, vintage copies, on a whim. Everyone's praise has me excited to start. Thx!

I’m just about to start the final book of the second Corum trilogy; how did you like them?

I'm on Queen of Swords myself. Currently doing my first read through. Love it so far. I find it extremely hard to put down.

Young Iain Banks on Moorcock! The Ladbroke’s gangster liking it. The phallic criticism! What a joy.

I've read a *lot* of Moorcock. He's a great author, tho some books I don't care for. These books he wrote in 3 days are among his best, and are genuinely excellent reads. The fact he wrote any book in 3 days is pretty remarkable, but the quality he produced in 3 days is just amazing. Now I have to find the Kundera part of the show.

1987? Bolt was published in 87, if my Googling is accurate. Moorcock looks to be late 40's pr so, which adds up.

MM & IB became friends after this prog! He actually has many women readers!

What, what?! Phallic imagery in books by Michael Moorcock?! MOORCOCK?! Who would've imagined? Actually, he said he purposely used that imagery in some of his "sword & sorcery" works. I'm on the 50% side that love his works. I grew up reading his Elric, Hawkmoon, Corum, Jharek Carnelian, and Jerry Cornelius cycles (along with many others).

These old UK discussions all sound like Monty Python

A lady with parrots on her clothing, doesn't like "symbolism" or swords and rams etc What a surprise, eh??
