Michael Moorcock To Undergo Amputation. And He's Making Jokes
UPDATE: It's a toe, folks. not the whole foot…
On his Multiverse fora, legendary fantasy writer Michael Moorcock posted;
I apologise for being a bad correspondent with many over the last couple of months. All efforts to save my wounded foot without resort to surgery have been made and now, somewhat inconveniently, I'm seeing a surgeon tomorrow (Monday) re. amputation. Shouldn't be too serious, though, as I said somewhere, I feel a bit fed up with constantly supplying Mrs Lovett for tidbits for her bloody pies… I AM a little nervous but it's mostly to do with more things going wrong (caused by medical staff) than anything else.
I have his Doctor Who novel on my bedside beside me as I write this and a stack of books somewhere below me. And of course tonnes of work by those inspired by his, that of Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Bryan Talbot and, well pretty much everyone really.
Michael seems to be taking this, as much as everything in his life, with good humour, if a touch on the gallows' side. All at Bleeding Cool wish him well tomorrow and in the days to come.
