But who has a chance to get the cash? Americans are aware of class, but they overestimate mobility, which, according to numerous studies, is going the way of the wooly mammoth.

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.

On top of all that, the series is a comedy.
