Media

“[Moorcock] is the greatest writer of post-Tolkien British Fantasy.” —Michael Chabon, Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalaier & Clay, and Telegraph Avenue

 

“Moorcock’s influence is nothing like Tolkien’s, at least on the surface, but his vision of a speculative-fiction genre that can be psychologically complex is evident in how very sophisticated some of it has become—from “True Detective” to Jeff VanderMeer, from David Mitchell to “Under the Skin.” The New Yorker

 

“Moorcock as the most important successor to Mervyn Peake and Wyndham Lewis… The vast, tragic symbols by which Moorcock continually illuminates the metaphysical quest of his hero are a measure of the author’s remarkable talents” —J. G. Ballard, author of Empire of the Sun, Crash, and The Drowned World

 

“[Moorcock] can gleefully give you all the formulae of every kind of story there ever was, because he’s tried and tested all of them … the master story-teller of our time.” —Angela Carter author of The Bloody Chamber, and Nights at the Circus

 

“If you are at all interested in fantastic fiction, you must read Michael Moorcock. He changed the field single-handedly: He is a giant.” —Tad Williams, bestselling author of The Dragonbone Chair trilogy
