ELRIC OF MELNIBONÉ by MICHAEL MOORCOCK - Fantasy Reading Group

Elric of Melniboné by Michael Moorcock (First Novella in the Elric Saga). Reading Group

“And now, Elric had told three lies. The first concerned his cousin Yyrkoon. The second concerned the Black Sword. The third concerned Cymoril. And upon those three lies was Elric's destiny to be built, for it is only about things which concern us most profoundly that we lie clearly and with profound conviction.”

*** Please note that there are many compilations of "Elric" stories, with varying stories bound together. To make it more complicated, in some editions Moorcock broke down sections of novellas into chapters he called "books." This session will involve only the novella called "Elric of Melniboné" which is about 140-200 pages long, depending on the publisher and edition. Generally, this novella is in the first volume of collected stories. Please contact me if you have trouble locating the story. ***

Everyone welcome! Please read the novel beforehand and join us for a friendly discussion at a coffeehouse or restaurant.
