Book Review
H.P. Lovecraft: Against the World, Against Life (1991)
by Michel Houellebecq
There is an actual H.P. Lovecraft museum up the street from me located in, of all places, the Glendale Burbank border. It's just a store front, with a storage area for their printing press in back- they publish books related to Lovecraft. It reminded me that French author and personal favorite Michel Houellebecq is a huge Lovecraft fan and that he wrote a book length (one hundred pages, anyway) essay about Lovecraft and his hatred of immigrants in New York City. I mean, that is the startling part, the rest is a by now concluded argument that Lovecraft is a canon level author. Was that an issue into the early 1990's? Is it still?
