read “H.P. Lovecraft - Against the World, Against Life” by Michel Houellebecq
H.P. Lovecraft - Against the World, Against Life reads as a long form essay by Michel Houellebecq analyzing the works on H. P. Lovecraft by taking into account the biographic details of his life and the literary and philosophical themes brought to life in his oeuvre.
In the course of the essay, you do tend to get quite a bit of insight into Houellebecq as he paints a portrait of the inner recesses of Lovecraft’s demented albeit vividly imaginative mind, drawing from the events of his life, letters of correspondence and stories.
The introduction written by Stephen King does a fine job of setting the stage for Houellebecq.
This is a fascinating medley between two incredible writers. I highly recommend it.
