Books by Paul LaFarge
“This novel is largely about Lovecraft, and the possibility of his secret gay love life with a man in Florida: but the investigation into this question leads LaFarge into all parts of the history of science fiction and pulp magazine. So everybody from Isaac Asimov to Frederik Pohl to Donald Wollheim, all show up as characters. There’s even a teenage Ursula Le Guin, who we meet as the daughter of a pair of anthropologists at Berkeley. So he’s clearly having a lot of fun with a whole history of the genre, and at the same time, rediscovering and possibly undermining not only Lovecraft, but a lot of the pulp traditions that he was fascinated with.” Read more...
