Ummm, not really. As I note there, when you're dealing with Moorcock, you aren't dealing with any single timeline or even a single reality -- you're dealing with an ever-burgeoning series of realities which cross-pollinate and intertwine. And
Breakfast in the Ruins itself features several different "realities", not only having three concurrent lines of storytelling but even (within one of those) multiple existences which Glogauer lived, is living, or will live... somewhere.....

I thought I'd read a lot of Moorcock but he is phenomenal. I've barely scratched the surface. I've only read about 4 or 5 of the novels and two of the series. BTW I've got the Chronicles of Castle Brass (1986) which you don't mention as a collection.

Keeping up with Moorcock's different collections of previously-existing work is a monstrous task. However, I drew up a revised list of his work fairly recently, and I'll try to post that this weekend; this may help newcomers to make some headway with the complex interrelationships....
