Michael Moorcock: Wounds of Albion, Gebunden

Klappentext

In the final part of his fictional autobiography, noted writer and publisher Michael Moorcock continues his adventures in both reality and a fantasy world only he can see. He needs to find a way to juggle his life, family and career with the demands of the group of myths, legends, heroes, villains, notable historical figures and creations of his own imagination who need his help or seek to destroy him.

Moorcock finds himself in an adventure filled with excitement, robbery and tales of both heroism and treachery, while negotiating the collapse of his marriage, the success of his writing and music, and the impact his 'New Wave' of science fiction was having on both mainstream and counter culture. Filled with cameos from mythical figures - some legends from our reality, like Jim Morrison or JG Ballard, some on the bordeline, like the four Musketeers or Dick Turpin - this is an evocative recreation of the swinging sixties and the rather sadder seventies in London and beyond, as well as a fantasy adventure which stands alongside his totemic Eternal Champion stories.

New Worlds Magazine will be launched, feted and banned. Carriages will be robbed by highway men and women from previous centuries. The music of the sixties will inspire, embrace and reject Moorcock. The deposed heir to England's crown will seek his help. Moorcock will meet his new future wife. The Carmelite Monks must protect their latest multiverse-spanning invention. And all of this may or may not be true.
