Gloriana, or The Unfulfill'd Queen

Michael Moorcock wants to comment on British imperialism so he writes a Faerie Queene parody/Peake pastiche where the Queen can't get off so she isn't a Real Woman but then she gets raped and finally has an orgasm.
Someone publishes this book.
Then Andrea Dworkin yells at Michael Moorcock because apparently it takes Andrea Dworkin to flag this rape thing as a bad idea and then Michael Moorcock writes an alternate ending with less rape that is somehow worse than the original.
He also includes a note that you shouldn't rape people, everybody, sorry if that was unclear.

Brilliant review, and yet it's so much worse than you suggest!

I thought the same thing. Terrible way to end this. And here I thought Moorcock was smarter than this!
Your narrative is nonsense. About as close to the truth as an Enquirer story.
