About This Item
London: Victor Gollancz, 1989. 267pp. Book clean, square. Spine firm, gilt title there-on. Plain tan boards undamaged. Leaves clean. Illustrated dustjacket has minor soft edge-creasing, tiny nick to head of rear flap fold. From the jacket flap: "Michael's Moorcock's latest collection includes, as usual, a fascinating variety of fiction and non-fiction. There are six new stories. The title story - subtitled 'An Episode in the Third World War' - is a subtle and exotic political tale set, as the title suggests, in Morocco . . . The non-fiction incorporates profiles of such disparate figures as Angus Wilson, Andrea Dworkin and Mervyn Peake; writings on London which form a fascinating supplement to his acclained novel 'Mother London'; and lively and committed discussion of feminism and pornography. Finally, the book features a novella, 'Gold Diggers of 1977', which is a substantially revised version of 'The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle'." Book weight approx. 545g. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First Edition.. Hardcover and Dustjacket. Very Good +/Very Good +.
