Sunand Tryambak Joshi

S. T. Joshi appeals to the obsessive in me. Born in Pune, India, educated at Brown University, he became an American literary critic who poured his life into one beautifully niche obsession: H. P. Lovecraft and weird fiction. He wrote the definitive Lovecraft biography, founded Lovecraft Studies, and edited the Lovecraft Annual, single-handedly cultivating a corner of literature most people overlook. To me, dragging a fringe subject into serious scholarship through sheer persistence is real love made visible. In a world that keeps expanding, choosing to go deep on your own peculiar passion is rare, and I deeply admire that kind of devotion.
