I wouldn't say they "disgust" me, but I definitely object to their worldview and politics. That seems important, but then again if their fiction speaks to me... well, that's important, too.<br /><br />Lovecraft is a more extreme matter, of course.David Anthony Durhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13885922955551669016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158536.post-85680730520150946282011-12-20T09:47:36.097-05:002011-12-20T09:47:36.097-05:00Very interesting.

I now too wonder if it is okay to feel disgusted with the author, but love his work (save for the racist crap of course).

Though I've only read <i>At the Mountains of Madness</i>, which happens to be rather lacking in human characters. Apparently it's easier to avoid prejudicial statements in the vast antarctic wastes.Bryan Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09555071335245492790noreply@blogger.com
