Into the Media Web: Selected Short Non-fiction, 1956-2006

A Brobdingnagian compendium of fifty years of Michael Moorcock’s journalism. Includes articles, editorials, fore- and afterwords, introductions, prefaces, obituaries, reviews and more. Edited by Moorcock expert and bibliographer John Davey. Foreword by Alan Moore.Look up the word 'author' in a dictionary and you'll find a photograph of Michael Moorcock. A reluctant archetype he spans the fertile wilderness of English writing, real and living literature not to be found amidst the well-manicured parklands of the prizewinners and pundits; too tall for the shortlist. This is a web we can plunge into with complete abandon. Michael Moorcock isn't going to steal our souls or eat us, but instead serve up a varied banquet of delights for us to pick at over a few weeks or wolf down in a single sitting. This book is a radiant and comprehensive study of one of the most important figures of our time, in all his marvellous complexity.Alan Moore in his foreword.
