Elric in the Dream Realms (Chronicles of the Last Emperor of Melniboné, #5) QUOTES

1 " The legends which offer a race their sense of pride and history eventually become putrid. "

― Michael Moorcock , Elric in the Dream Realms (Chronicles of the Last Emperor of Melniboné, #5)

2 " The authors who gathered around my magazine New Worlds shared my feelings that through literary SF we could regenerate Anglophone fiction. I am glad to say this experiment largely succeeded, so that most of our best-known literary writers employ techniques which we were responsible for developing. The latest Thomas Pynchon novel, Against the Day, as well as work by Martin Amis, Salman Rushdie, Don DeLillo, Brett Easton Ellis and many, many other writers contains methods first developed in New Worlds. We were all, of course, part of the general zeitgeist which was also influenced by non-European fiction and created what some came to call "magic realism."
--Michael Moorcock, Introduction to the Taiwan Edition of Elric "
