My uncle was a lovely fellow and was very kindly trying to find work for an unemployable nephew. I recall spending many long hours sitting quietly in front of his desk while he looked at piles of paper and then finally said, \u201cGo to Macy\u2019s.\u201d To summarize, perhaps to the point of inaccuracy: some of his work came from writing \u201ccease and desist\u201d letters when, say, a belt manufacturer had a dispute with a designer over unpaid invoices or copyright infringement. So I would bring a scary-looking document to a boutique asking them to stop selling some kind of merchandise until the legal problems were cleared up.<\/p>\n<p>Delivering the subpoenas themselves was an adventure every time. For instance, Bloomingdale\u2019s\u2014it turns out they\u2019d had subpoenas delivered before and were prepared for me. I walked to the information desk and asked where the legal department was. Fifteenth floor. I went to the elevators. Which stopped at twelve. After ten minutes of investigation, it turned out that the employee elevators went to fifteen. When I got to the fifteenth floor, I pulled out my subpoena and the receptionist, without batting an eye, said, \u201cRoom 1532.\u201d Need I say that there was no room 1532? I walked the rectangle of that floor for what felt like an hour, asking where room 1532 was. It wasn\u2019t. The legal department was now locked and no one answered the door. Finally, in defeat, and wanting to prolong my return to my uncle\u2019s office, I went to take the stairs down. I opened the stairwell, and there it was: Room 1532, where they received subpoenas. I took mine from my pocket and extended it like it was a fucking sword. Ha! The guy behind the desk\u2014that\u2019s all it was, a converted maintenance closet with a desk in it\u2014wiped the mustard from his chin and looked up in surprise. \u201cWow,\u201d he said. I took that as a compliment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael Moorcock:<\/strong> I got into publishing at the age of sixteen, writing features and stories for a national weekly juvenile magazine. I later edited the magazine, but before that I sold my collection of toy soldiers to buy my first guitar.\u00a0I left the magazine job to travel to Paris, where I busked outside George Whitman\u2019s shop, then called Le Mistral and now called Shakespeare &amp; Company. George didn\u2019t mind, since I spent pretty much every cent I earned in his shop.\u00a0Later I got a gig in Montmartre singing familiar\u00a0songs for tourists in a little cabaret,\u00a0and, when I went back to England, I continued to take whatever work I could get playing guitar.\u00a0My best job was working for a madam called Mrs. Fox, who paid me to perform at parties she organized for groups of men.\u00a0She supplied the ladies and the drink.\u00a0I supplied the music.\u00a0I performed for Icelandic sailors, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and a couple of soccer teams, among others, and became very friendly with Mrs. Fox\u2019s ladies, who were all very sweet and kind to me, perhaps because I was far too shy to make a pass at anyone. They told me some wonderful, sometimes frightening,\u00a0stories.\u00a0It was\u00a0great experience, and stood me in good stead when I came to write my first adult fiction at the age of seventeen.<\/p>\n<p><em><em>Chris Flynn is the\u00a0books editor at <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bigissue.com\/\">The Big Issue<\/a> <em>and the fiction editor at <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.australianbookreview.com.au\/\">Australian Book Review<\/a><em>.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most dust jackets list only literary accomplishments, but I\u2019ve always been a fan of offbeat author bios.
