`The Condition of Muzak' is the one which sticks, although I probably
have a folk memory or two of the other Cornelius books (including the
one which seemed to be mostly assembled from newspaper clippings and
was full of all those pictures of flying boats - was that The Tank
Trapeze?). But spare me the sword and sorcery stuff. I lost interest
in Moorcock at the age of 18 when faced with a choice between his fake
Russian Colonel Pyat and the Nabokov's fake Amerussian Ada. No
contest.
