After this exchange I decided to see what Moorcock was up to these days and was surprised to see he has a new book out.
The interview made me laugh because I'm sure there's a Simon and Schuster publicist screaming into pillow right now. After talking about his health problems he says that the new book is 'pretty decent'
(paraphrasing, not actually quoting)
"I mean it's not bad there's some decent material in there for people who like my earlier style of writing . . . I mean if you like my early faster paced books and not my later, more sophisticated writings you should like it. Or you may hate it. And that's alright too, I don't mind" He then goes on to confirm that the women in the Elric books are really just plot devices and not real characters.
Made me like the guy all the more - I love the candor of the interview:
Yes, he was always straightforward, which is a trait I admire.
