I never could get into the Jerry Cornelius ....

I perfectly understand that, and it was a close call for me ... not least because I have always been very anti-drugs ... though not anti sexual freedom ... ha ha.
I was well into his writing before I started any Jerry Cornelius, else I don't doubt I would have skipped his books. He was up and down and a bit of all over the place ... understandable if under the influence.
I always thought he was a funny mix of anti-establishment and establishment, which I mostly got from his writing. Almost like a form of corruption. It did make for very interesting reading at times, and some appeal to the rebel inside many of us.
P.S. I actually read Glorianna many years before I read Gormenghast, which is superior in every sense, but which Moorcock modeled his book after.
In a way he was often a kind of experimental writer ... certainly earlier in his career.
