Wherein lie your difficulties?
Come on, we'll restore your wavering faith!

Moorcocks' diatribe has been around for years, possibly decades. Besides being piffle on its own, it also comes from an author so obsessed with not being 'juvenile,' so determined to include 'real-world' angst and sex, that he....writes precisely like a sulky teenager, for whom of course angst, sex, and not appearing juvenile are the principal preoccupations. Elric isn't remotely a grownup character: more like Holden Caulfield with a sword.
