Jerry Cornelius — the ambiguous, amoral, androgynous English Assassin —
An omnibus containing the first two novels in the Cornelius tetralogy — The Final Programme (1968) and A Cure For Cancer (1971) — in their fully revised versions. Despite containing preferred texts, this volume is flawed by the absence of some important illustrations.
Contents:-
p. 5: ‘The Repossession Of Jerry Cornelius’ (non-fiction) by John Clute (wrongly credited on contents page [19] for The Final Programme);
p. 15: The Final Programme;
p. 195: A Cure For Cancer.
