Description

Percy Shelley, George Orwell, Jack London, Roald Dahl...there's no shortage of writers with questionable values who made significant contributions to the literary world. But today we focus on two of the most severe and influential: HP Lovecraft and Robert E, Howard.

Can an author be separated from their work? Can you acknowledge a contribution without honoring the artist who made it, or without inadvertently condoning their harmful beliefs? Ludlow Adams and JS Gariety open a dialogue about these difficult and uncomfortable questions.
