Howard Freedman, director of the S.F.-based library, said the 10-year-old book was selected because its depiction of a religious minority being oppressed is extremely relevant today and because it focuses on a community that often gets little attention in Northern California. “ The Septembers of Shiraz,” by Tehran-born Dalia Sofer, tells the fictional story of a gem dealer, who is imprisoned after the Islamic Revolution of the late 1970s, and his family’s plight as he seeks freedom. ![]() A story about a Persian Jewish family’s struggles in post-revolution Iran has been chosen by the Jewish Community Library as its One Bay One Book selection for 2017-18. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Two stories by Lovecraft are here, -The Call of Cthulhu- and -The Haunter of the Dark,- both Lovecraft at his clearest yet most eldritch (i.e., uncanny, alien, weird), while -Jerusalem’s Lot- finds a young Stephen King vamping old H.P. These gigantic cosmic slipslops and their Mythos (strange word!) make the visiting extraterrestrials of The X-Files mere kindergarten fodder. Do the Cthulhu trade thoughts and live on the sea-bottom while being set on taking over the planet, as one Lovecraft pasticheur suggests? In an introduction, James Turner says that while early Lovecraft had the Cthulhu as merely demonic, the more adult Lovecraft became cosmic-and yet there is no set shape or static system to his Cthulhu cosmogony. Instead, he created his own genre and filled it with huge psycholgloppy horrors. At the zenith of the publication of pulp mags, Lovecraft did not write space opera like the sagas of Edmond Hamilton with his lively Captain Future series. In the spiral black vortices of the ultimate void of Chaos reigns the blind idiot god Azathoth, the supreme deity in the Lovecraft pantheon of slime-tentacled horrors from out of space and time.
