Industry Reviews

Michael Moorcock's Mother London remains one of the best 20th century novels about the city. Twelve years on the author makes a welcome return to the matter of London, seen this time through the eyes of hard-bitten journalist and sometime rock guitarist Dennis Dover. Looking back over his upbringing in the inner city London area of Brookgate, Dover talks about his relationship with his beloved cousin Rosie and describes the unscrupulous rise to power of another cousin, John Barbican Begg. Through Dover's boozy, drug-hazed memoirs, Moorcock addresses the confused, corrupt, mythical and historic post-Diana London into which are woven local hard men, ex-boxers, South London music halls, rock and roll stars, lovers, ancestors and empire building corporate tyrants. In his vivid portrait of contemporary London, Moorcock conveys forcefully many of the city's mistakes and tragedies, yet never forgetting its often obscured but underlying magic. (Kirkus UK)
