H.P. Lovecraft: Against the world, against life is a personal excursion through the life and work of American horror writer extraordinaire H.P. Lovecraft who, it seems, has been a major influence in Houellebecq's life since he first read him aged sixteen in France. Ultimately a treatise written in short bursts of digestible insight; lending itself to neat, well-packaged paragraphs and aphorisms in an almost bullet-point-like fashion, Houellebecq fondly calls this book his "first novel". It is certainly not essayistic in its approach and is more a statement of intent, rather than a stodgy critique on another's literary output. Better still is Stephen King's explanation in his interesting introduction to the new American English translation:
"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." [Against the world, against life Pg 9]
But it is more than just one writer's "scholarly love-letter" to and for another, this book is something much deeper and is as much about its author, if not more, as it is its subject: it is Houellebecq's own fiery manifesto, a red hot poker thrust into the tender flesh of our literary climate, one young writer's burning letter of intent displaying a philosophical doctrine of his own making. Everything packed into this rather flimsy book sets out the intentions of his future literary output and now that these titles exist, it is easy to pinpoint the mythical comparisons and theoretical lineage embedded within Houellebecq's work from Whatever onwards. And for this reason alone it makes for unparalleled bravura and, more importantly, insightful reading not seen since Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus.
