Jerusalem Rules

In the third novel, Colonel Pyat dreams and plans his journey from New York to Hollywood, from Cairo to Marrakech, from cult success to the lowest depths of sexual degradation, living through mistakes and disappointments of life, experiencing the worst nightmares of the century. In this novel, Moorcock has turned Pyat's life into an epic and comedic adventure. The continuity of his dreams and debauched fantasies, his desire to escape from reality - all this leads only to him running from crisis to crisis, and each of his escapades becomes just a link in the chain of deception and betrayal. However, through self-deception and his warped visions, this completely unreliable narrator becomes a lens through which the wildest farce and blood-curdling horrors transform into the hard truth of life.
