Whatever I Go
For the interested (and who wouldn't be?) [info]scalzi has posted my "Big Idea" anent the Tour de Lovecraft: The Tales on his wildly successful and entertaining blog "Whatever."

And because no Big Idea is possible without a Small Screwup, I should note that yes, I know Sprague de Camp's biography was published in 1975, not 1976. Slip of the cursor. I assure you that I get it right in the book, which (did I mention?) is available now from the publisher, has been available at The Source in Minneapolis since August, and will be available later this fall in fine bookstores everywhere.

Ooh. This should be a good read. Now if only I can find the time for it! (I'll be trying my utmost to do so, really. There are pockets of time wherein I'm not mucking about with the laws of nature.)

Having read, and commented on, the original, I guess I'll have to go get a copy when I have the money.

Since you've had a look at Howard's share of the ouvre, how about a look at the other mythos authors? Especially the more recent and/or obscure works. Elizabeth Bear's Shuggoths in Bloom or Thomas Harlan's Oath of Empire for example.
