(P/B) H. P. LOVECRAFT

Παρουσίαση

"Michel Houellebecq's essay H. P. Lovecraft: Against the World, Against Life is a remarkable blending of critical insight, fierce partisanship and sympathetic biography - a kind of scholarly love letter, maybe even the world's first truly cerebral mash note. The question is whether or not the subject rates such a rich and unexpected burst of creativity in what is ordinarily a dull-as-ditchwater, footnote-riddled field of work. Does this long-dead, pulp-magazine Johnson deserve such a Boswell? Houellebecq argues that H. P. Lovecraft does, that he matters a great deal even in the twenty-first century. As it happens, I think he could not be more right". (STEPHEN KING, From the Introduction)
