Michael Moorcock

For other meanings, see Moorcock (disambiguation). Michael John Moorcock (born December 18, 1939, in London, England) is a prolific English writer primarily of science fiction and fantasy who has also published a number of literary novels.Moorcock's most popular works by far have been the Elric novels, starring the character Elric of Melniboné. In these books, Elric is an anti-hero written as a deliberate reversal of what Moorcock saw as clichés commonly found in fantasy adventure novels inspired by the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, and a direct antithesis of Robert E. Howard's Conan. Moorcock has also published a number of pastiches of writers for whom he felt affection as a boy, such as Edgar Rice Burroughs, Leigh Brackett, and Howard himself. All his fantasy adventures have elements of satire and parody while respecting what he considers the essentials of the form. While these are perhaps his best known works in the United States, he came to prominence in the UK as a literary author, with books like Behold the Man and The Final Programme being received as non-genre work. Novels like the Cornelius Quartet, Mother London, King of the City, and the Pyat Quartet have established him in the eyes of critics in publications such as the Times Literary Supplement and The London Review of Books as a major contemporary literary novelist.

Divenne redattore per Tarzan Adventures nel 1956, a soli sedici anni, collaborando successivamente con Sexton Blake Library. Come curatore della controversa rivista di fantascienza inglese New Worlds, dal maggio 1964 fino al marzo 1971 e quindi nuovamente dal 1976 al 1996, Moorcock incoraggiò lo sviluppo della New Wave nel Regno Unito e indirettamente negli Stati Uniti. La sua edizione a puntate di Jack Barron e l'Eternità (Bug Jack Barron) di Norman Spinrad fu tristemente famosa perché portò gli MP inglesi a condannare in Parlamento il finanziamento della rivista da parte dell'Arts Council.
