A critic, editor, and writer of astonishing range, Michael Moorcock is prolific, idiosyncratic, and  outspoken—often too outspoken for many tastes, which has for nearly a half century had him fighting the censors.   As he relates in his guest editorial in the July 2007 Interzone, he was arrested by Special Branch in the 1950s for bringing copies of William Burroughs‘ novels into Britain.  A decade later, his magazine New Worlds raised a furor in the House of Commons by publishing Norman Spinrad‘s Bug Jack Barron.  (You can find Moorcock’s own thoughts about the affair at The Edge.)
