"The Laughter of Carthage" covers Pyat's life from 1920-1924 telling of his escape from Communist Russia and his travels in Europe and America.
Pyat survives the revolution and the subsequent civil war by working first for one side and then another. "Byzantium Endures" focuses on the first twenty years of Pyat's life and tells of his role in the Russian revolution. "Byzantium Endures" and "The Laughter of Carthage" are two autobiographical novels of the Russian emigre Colonel Pyat and were the closest Moorcock came to conventional literary fiction. "The Condition of Muzak" completed the initial Jerry Cornelius tetralogy and won Guardian Literary Prize in 1977. Moorcock also wrote books and stories that featured the character Jerry Cornelius, who had no consistent character or appearance. Karl participates in the political violence of the French Revolution, the Paris Commune, and a Nazi concentration camp.
"The Chronicles of Castle Brass" was a sword and sorcery novel, and "Breakfast in the Ruins: A Novel of Inhumanity" uses the character Karl Glogauer as a different person in different times. Moorcock's writing covers a wide range of science fiction and fantasy genres. He has worked as a singer-guitarist, has worked with the rock bands Hawkwind and Blue Oyster Cult and is a member of the rock band Michael Moorcock and the Deep Fix.
