Lisa, thanks so much for this. And, agreed, we can't excuse Lovecraft's racism, especially not with the absurd justification, "he was a man of his times." I wrestle with this everyday with Thomas Jefferson.

If anything, I would imagine Jefferson's legacy is even more difficult...after all, Lovecraft has never been held up of a paragon of morality!

What a memorable event. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall--or a ghost in the wall. So glad you had a good time!

Lisa, I am so happy you got this opportunity. I am also sooooo jealous. Nothing I love more than discussing horror at this depth.
