    Dawn Powell’s New York Novels, 1925–1962

    by Patricia E. Palermo ...
    Dawn Powell was a gifted satirist who moved in the same circles as Dorothy Parker, Ernest Hemingway, renowned editor Maxwell Perkins, and other midcentury New York luminaries.

    by Andrew Somerset ...

  • H. P. Lovecraft: The Decline of the West

    by S. T. Joshi ...
    The author writes:This book began as an expansion of my essay, "H. P. Lovecraft: The Decline of the West," in The Weird Tale, but very quickly became something quite different, to the degree that the two works have little save the title in common. I have always been interested in Lovecraft the philosopher, and in my Starmont Reader’s Guide to Lovecraft (1982) I attempted a very compressed account ... Read more
