Jerry Cornelius has it all - money, talent, fame, women, helicopters, drugs... And yet, he still wants. He gets himself in with a band of thieves who want to steal secrets to mind control techniques from Jerry's father's house. In return for helping them breach the house's defenses, he wants his sister alive and his brother dead. And yet, he still wants. Along the way, he meets Miss Brunner - a strangely compelling woman with a mind compatible with his own and a penchant for losing associates. She offers to build the "Final Program". The ultimate program. Jerry tut-tuts her, and yet she keeps showing up - inviting him, cajoling him, seducing him, transfixing him... Until the program is complete, and the end of the world is nigh. This is a bizarre book on many levels. The parallels with the Elric storyline are obvious and obviously intentional. There are just so many things left unexplained in the book. What, exactly, does Miss Brunner do with her associates? What, exactly, does Jerry do to the people he "feeds" off of? What happened to people to cause them to form these group minds? What drugs was Moorcock on when he wrote this book? Was this one of the ones that he wrote in a single sitting? Why is it important that Corn is a hermaphrodite? So many questions... nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Jerry Cornelius is a scientist, a rock star, and an assassin. He is the hippest adventurer of them all: tripping through a pop art nightmare in which kidnappings, murder, sex and drugs are a daily occurrence. Along with his savvy and ruthless partner-in-chaos, Miss Brunner, Cornelius is on a mission to control a revolutionary code for creating the ultimate human being, a modern messiah-- the final programme. The first book in the Cornelius Quartet is the groundbreaking introduction to the misadventures and vendettas of Jerry Cornelius, one of modern literature's most distinctive characters, the product of a bewildering post-modern culture, and an inspiration for generations of characters since.

One of the oddest things is that sometimes you can't tell whether to take things literally or figuratively.
Its just got a really nice writing style and good ideas. ( )
