Críticas:
Houellebecq's superb discussion of Lovecraft offers deep insights into what drives his own writing (Phil Baker THE OBSERVER)
His [HP Lovecraft's] "consuming interior force" was fear - an absolute fear of life that is analysed in Houellebecq's serious and empathic critical essay. (Iain Finlayson THE TIMES)
Who would have thought that Houellebecq owed such a debt to an American horror writer? Perhaps it is not so surprising. Both have turned their hostility to the world into an art form. (LITERARY REVIEW)
Houellebecq's essay is... a strikingly precise equivalent for our day of Baudelaire's notorious adulation of an earlier American writer of weird fiction, Edgar Poe. (Kevin Jackson SUNDAY TIMES)
his essay is both a formidable literary performance in itself, a work of real imaginative sympathy, and a consistently engrossing intellectural workout. (Sam Leith THE DAILY TELEGRAPH)
fascinating polemic. (Richard Godwin THE EVENING STANDARD)

"Those who love life do not read. Nor do they go to the movies, actually. No matter what might be said, access to the artistic universe is more or less entirely the preserve of those who are a little fed up with the world." In this prescient work¿now with an introduction by Stephen King¿Michel Houellebecq, the author of the novels Platform and Atomised, focuses his considerable analytical skills on H.P. Lovecraft, the seminal, enigmatic horror writer of the early 20th century.
Houellebecq¿s insights into the craft of writing illuminate both Lovecraft and Houellebecq¿s own work. The two are kindred spirits, sharing a uniquely dark worldview. But even as he outlines Lovecraft¿s rejection of this loathsome world, it is Houellebecq¿s adulation for the author that drives this work and makes it a love song, infusing the writing with an energy and passion that characterises Houellebecq¿s new novel. Indispensable reading for anyone interested in Lovecraft, Houellebecq, or the past and future of horror.

Buchbeschreibung Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. Slight tanning of pages. 'Michel Houellebecq's essay H.P. Lovecraft: Against the World, Against Life is a remarkable blending of critical insight, fierce partisanship and sympathetic biography-a kind of scholarly love letter, maybe even the world's first truly cerebral mash note. The question is whether or no the subject rates such a rich and unexpected burst of creativity in what is ordinarily a dull-as-ditchwater, footnote-riddled field of work. Does this long-dead, pulp-magazine Johnson deserve such a Boswell? Houellebecq argues that H.P. Lovecraft does, that he matters a great deal even in the twenty-first century. As it happens, I think he could not be more right.' Stephen King, From The Introduction. This edition includes two of Lovecraft's classic tales: The Call of the Cthulhu and The Whisperer in Darkness.
