Arcsquad12 posted:I remember reading somewhere a few years back about Lovecraft and Howard being friends. Now I know that Lovecraft was a paranoid racist even by the time's standards, but what about Howard? There are elements of the stories which as the OP says are problematic by today's standards, but is that true of Howards personal views as well? he had racist beliefs of 1930s texas and was racist in general. but he was never as bad as say lovecraft. howard was more into orientalist and primitivism which influenced his book. Paragon8 posted:Howard's work definitely veers deep into orientalism and is full of noble savage stuff. Although that one story with the man-eaters is fairly explicitly racist. Conan at one point gets attacked in the dark by a huge hideous monster and when he puts the light on it turns out its just a black guy. pretty much. most of the conan stuff outside that one are fine if very puply. i have never read cussler, is it post 9/11 clancy bad? or worse.
