In what way(s)? I'm aware of his critical work on so many figures both in and out of the weird fiction field (including H. L. Mencken, for instance). As always, I find his critical works on them to be thought-provoking and lively. Joshi has a rather pungent wit himself, and his work is always well worth reading.
Glad to hear, though, that this is an aspect that hasn't changed. He and his work have had a major influence on me in several ways, as well -- much as HPL himself has -- and I think my life has been richer because of them....
And on the subject of the thread: finally got my copy of
O Fortunate Floridian -- absolutely beautiful book! Even just dipping into the first letter (all I had time for with my busy schedule today) I was already charmed and fascinated.... This one is definitely going to be a treat....
