Synopsis

Book by Moorcock Michael

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A wonderfully rich and dazzling novel celebrating the people and places of post-war London. The main characters - all considered to be mentally disturbed by the medical profession - are able to hear the babbling voices from the heart of the city in their heads. A loving rhapsody dedicated to London itself in much the same way Ulysses was or Dublin.
'A novel that is intended to be a celebration of my native city. It deals in London life since 1940 to around 1986. While some of the material suggests a possible fantastic element, there is no overt fantasy in the book. I think it's probably my own favourite. And it has a happy ending!' Michael Moorcock
'His is the grand, messy flux itself, in all its heroic vulgarity, its unquenchable optimism. For Moorcock's Londoners, nothing could be more magical than the real fabric of the city they love and the stories with which it echoes' Angela Carter, GUARDIAN
