    <body><![CDATA[This is &quot;anti-fiction&quot; (bad term, but oh well). Michael Moorcock wrote this series to be a reversal to cliches of the genre inspired by Tolkien and the like. Main character Elric is written as a direct antithesis to Conan the barbarian. This makes The Elric Saga... wait for it... good!<br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20095055">more...</a>]]></body>
