All this changed after the Notting Hill Carnival in 1977, when a group of black youths entered Pyat's shop seeking charity donations; this proved overstimulating for Pyat, who had a heart attack and died on the spot. Coming into possession of Pyat's papers, Moorcock decided to press on and finish the job - a task he wouldn't complete until 2006. The novel we get, then, consists of a mixture of material from the tapes and Pyat's papers, lashed together into a sensible order by Moorcock and edited to improve their English and scale back (but not excise) the more incomprehensible sections. They reveal a life story which begins in Tsarist Kiev and takes us through a maelstron of war, revolution, child prostitution, pedophilia, rape, murder, drug addiction, pornography, slavery, racism, fascism, Nazism and persecution. On top of all that, the series is a comedy.

I am big fan of typography myself and was surprised I haven't done any good font collection yet! While doing research I was amazed how many really high quality fonts are available for free.
