Fruitless Recursion is a genre fiction metacriticism e-journal run by Jonathan “Blasphemous Geometries” McCalmont, and the man himself has just released its third issue into the wild and constricted tubes of the interwubs. Go read the introductory editorial, and then pick from the following:
- Duncan Lawie‘s review of William Atheling, Jr.’s The Issue at Hand
- Karen Burnham‘s review of David Seed’s A Companion to Science Fiction
- Jonathan McCalmont‘s review of Houellebecq’s H P Lovecraft: Against the World, Against Life
- Jonathan McCalmont‘s review of Maurice Levy’s Lovecraft: A Study in the Fantastic
- Jonathan McCalmont‘s interview with S T Joshi
Jonathan’s been on quite a Lovecraft mission, it seems – Joshi and the Penguin Classics editions of Lovecraft’s work get a passing mention in tomorrow’s Blasphemous Geometries column, too…
