Houellebecq essentially leans at work and Lovecraft's correspondence to the analysis of this discreet gentleman, unsuitable for life, reactionary and racist.
Allergic to reality, Lovecraft takes refuge in writing horror fiction in which, a rare rating Houellebecq full understanding, he naturally excluded the issues of money and sex.
Lovecraft's work was not recognized until after his death.
