5.0 out of 5 stars Elric goes west, 1 April 2001
By A Customer
This isn't at all what the title suggests, though strictly, since Moorcock apparently lives in the Texas woods, it is true. But it isn't about the Texas woods. The first story is a bizarre Western, done as a parody of 40s Westerns, which turns out to be an Elric story. It's a rattling fine tale in its own bizarre way, belonging really to the group in Fabulous Harbours. The same can be said for the other main story, which is a Sherlock Holmes story, done straight: The Affair of the Texan's Honour. Most of the rest of the book is taken up with essays Moorcock has published (mostly in The New Statesman)about popular culture. There are discussions of the Arabian Nights, Jonathan Carroll, Tom Mix and Mickey Rooney and all the other things Moorcock's enormous curiosity is attracted to. It was Angela Carter's insight which most explained Moorcock -- she said that he had a boundless curiosity that went with a boundless imagination. The two produce this truly unique writer, one the English should be dancing in the streets to celebrate that he is theirs (even if they have exiled him to Texas!). The whole feel of this book is as good as Mojo's other Moorcock venture, the excellent and also recommended, Behold the Man, with its long essay at the end, in which Moorcock explains some of his reasons for writing the book. I don't think Mojo are still in business, but the books should still be around. Recommended!!! EH
