[The book has a] chapter dedicated to the figure of &#8220;Nyarlathotep&#8221; [in which Lovecraft] incarnates the state of tension that unites the crowds at that particular moment in history [&#8230;] because of political and social upheavals [arising in the the post-war crisis year of 1919]. Then there are seemingly daring combinations between Lovecraft and the contemporary Italian writer Massimo Bontempelli.
