A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Stories of London's past, present and future, of brave old ladies, beatific unfrocked vicars, Irish-Americans, and the seedy side of the London tourist trade combine in this showcase of Moorcock's narrative talent.
Moorcock, like Dickens, paints his characters larger than fiction and his similar affection for the weak and the marginalised, and his faith in their powers of self-renewal, make this collection worthy of the comparison. 'He is,' said Angela Carter in the Guardian, 'the master storyteller of our time'.

Revue de presse :

'Set mainly in the capital, Moorcock's collection of short stories also include excursions to Cairo and New York. The best stories from the veteran city watcher actually induce a nostalgic longing for wholly fictitious places. The title story, meanwhile, is a perfect allegory of how our heritage can become a commodity' THE TIMES
'He is by turns plangent, funny, visionary, provocative and grotesque' DAILY TELEGRAPH
