Did you read all of providence? I thought that was really good, although the ending was a bit disappointing. It didnt persuade me to go and read the lovecraft texts, but i might at some point. It feels like lovecraft serves the same purpose as maybe pulp hard boiled american novels did for the french new wave? Mythical/archetypal stories that can be used as skeletons to peg other interests on?
Finished chris petits ‘robinson’ now, it was ok. Hard to focus on a book at the moment, gonna go back to reading grapejuice in sequence i think
