A new blog post from S. T. Joshi<\/a>. He’s planning to travel to Paris in May 2019, for the formal launch of Je Suis Providence<\/em>, and he notes…<\/p>\n

One of the people I hope to meet in Paris is Martine Chifflot, a professor at Universite Lyon who has just issued a charming little book, Howard, Mon Amour<\/a> (Aigle Botte Editions, 2018). This slim (88 pp.) is a series of 23 scenes [from Lovecraft’s domestic life]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ah, ‘Paris in ze springtime’…. nice. Hopefully with the scent of apple-blossom and coffee drifting down the boulevards, rather than (as currently seem more likely, from the news) the scent of petrol-bombs.<\/p>\n

The book, at 88 pages and originally a play of “23 spooky and musical scenes”, sounds like it might make for the basis of an interesting graphic novel in English translation? The market for ‘Lovecraft’s life as graphic novel’ might seem to be becoming a little crowded, but the three we have so far seem only to have scratched the surface with broad surveys. There are ‘worlds within worlds’ in Lovecraft’s life that could be focussed down on in 120 pages.<\/p>\n

Joshi also notes he has a screenplay in progress, which will focus down on Sonia and Lovecraft…<\/p>\n

“The appearance of this book is very serendipitous, as it partly echoes the themes in my own screenplay of the film The Lovecrafts<\/em> on which Ryan Grulich and I are currently working.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
