Podsothoth: A Lovecraft Book Club

2: Pickman's Model (Discussion)

May 17, 2020 Tod Beardsley and friends Season 1 Episode 2
Podsothoth: A Lovecraft Book Club
2: Pickman's Model (Discussion)
Show Notes

Tod & Claire discuss Pickman's Model (as read in the last episode), and talk about Lovecraft's painter name-drops, historical locations mentioned in the story, the inability to convince their children to read anything, and the genesis of this podcast, Arkham Horror: The Living Card Game (Night of the Zealot). Also, we discuss the problem of racism in Lovecraft's work and life. We'll probably need to hit that racism bit again since we cut out like 20 minutes of that.
