Review
The first Jerry Cornelius story I’ve ever read. It leaves me confused but I still like it and want to dig deeper to try and figure it out. Moorcock is doing an experimental style here, but also is having fun with standard secret agent stories that were so popular in the late 60s. It doesn’t have much of a plot. Quotes from books and articles are spaced throughout the story.
