Odd, and Getting Odder -- 2006 interview with literary role model Russell Hoban

"[T]hen there is H P Lovecraft, to whose Cthulu stories Hoban pays wrily mocking homage from time to time in his own work. 'He's not too much an influence, I just love him,' he says. 'You know I read Lovecraft to all our sons when they were small. Friends and strangers,' - he is laughing - 'would say, oh my God, what are you doing, don't read them that stuff, you're doing them immense psychological harm! But, ah, they recall it very fondly.'"
