![]() ![]() Overall, my experience was substandard, and I'm pretty sure this is the last time I'll read the book as a result. ![]() The first half of the book is pretty dull, with very little of note happening (and I'm very thankful that another 150 pages got cut out!), then the last quarter gets increasingly esoteric. Moorcock admits to some grievous structural flaws in it, because he was trying to do too many things at once. Overall, I wasn't very thrilled by City either. This one ended up relatively non-genre too, and according to Moorcock, his editor thus wasn't too pleased with what he got. When he was commissioned to write The City in the Autumn Stars, he was also working on The Brothel in Rosenstrasse and The Laughter of Carthage, two entirely non-genre books. By the mid-1980s Moorcock had pretty much left fantasy behind. ![]()
