To the best of my recollection, it wasn't long after the Covid lockdowns started that I read something on the internet about The Black Corridor by Michael Moorcock. The author of the piece made the case for it being relevant to our times with its themes of societal decay and isolation. I decided that I would read the book because its thematic content seemed of the moment but also because it was a Moorcock book and one that had nothing to do with the Eternal Champion.
I kept an eye out for it at local bookshops for years but never found one. A couple weeks ago I broke down and bought a copy from someone on Alibris.
I am not far in but I have gotten a taste of the whole isolation bit and feel that the scenes so far with the couple on Earth are very much of the time for a male author, i.e. - very stilted. I have no doubt that things are going to get weirder soon.
