Thread 24825048

Found these in a free box and have heard the name thrown around here. I enjoy Gene Wolfe, Vance, and others in this vein is this a good haul?

I would say so.

Tale as old as time

I wonder if this means you’d also like Leslie Pussay.

Not really. Moorcock has a fervid imagination, but doesn't know how to turn it into a cohesive story.
The only reason you've heard of him is because his politics were fashionable in the publishing industry. And still are.

Yeah, he's a fun read. Too bad "The Rituals Of Infinity" wasn't in that haul... that book was weird enough to be spoken of in the same sentence as PKD.

That pile is mostly earlier Moorcock and Elric stories, so looks like a good haul overall, as long as you don't expect too much. Moorcock liked to churn out fantasy product for quick cash, but his more serious attempts get unbearably pretentious and political unless that's your kind of thing and you agree with his politics.

I found the comparatively newish Elric book in the pile The Fortress of the Pearl decidedly bad, but not as obnoxious as its near-contemporary Revenge of the Rose which you happily don't have. Dreamthief's Daughter I haven't read but wouldn't expect it to be any good either.
