Welcome to Moorcock's Miscellany
Dear reader,
Many people have given their valuable time to create a website for the pleasure of posing questions to Michael Moorcock, meeting people from around the world, and mining the site for information. Please follow one of the links above to learn more about the site.
But come to think of it, in Rabbat the (Jewish) family of my former French-Moroccan sister-in-law had a one-eyed dog. Can you guess what his name was, Oren, much to the anguish of the Arab population? One hint: to be sure, they renamed him after 1967!

Amir Peretz, the Israeli Defense minister and head of the Labour party was born in Morocco, by the way.
A not insignificant number of people came from there. Do you have any Ifrah's from Morocco?
Oh yeh, there are quite a few of them. I think the name means happy in Arabic, but it has a meaning in Hebrew as well - it's the future form of "to flower". So maybe actually some of the Israeli Ifrahs were originally named Bloom?
Oh great, now I have to find a site featuring "Gerbils that look like Goebbels".
