About This Item
San Francisco: Believer Books, 2005. First English edition, Trade paperback, Fine,. Sam Potts. San Francisco: Believer Books:, 2005. First English edition, Trade paperback, Fine, 243 pp.<br/> Cover artwork by: Sam Potts An as new copy. Includes a long introduction by Stephen King. King's blurb is, no doubt, better than any I can offer: "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."
