A Dubious Howard Biography Robert E. Howard, The Supreme Moment: A Biography by Francis DiPietro popped up recently. DiPietro was unheard of in Howard fandom until now, and suddenly he appears with a bio of REH. At best it is a mish-mash of scattered thoughts about Howard, at worst, it is borderline plagiarism (parts of the book are lifted from the material of legitimate Howard scholars). Here is the blurb from Lulu.com: "He gave life to a genre, and saved death for himself. Robert Ervin Howard, author of hundreds of stories and poems, spent his days in what he perceived to be literary obscurity. He took his life on June 11, 1936 with little inkling that his works would become the standard by which all of modern fantasy and adventure writing is judged. Now you are invited to share in this bold and perceptive retelling of a life made more remarkable by its brilliant spell of self-imposed brevity." -- Posted by Damon C. Sasser on May 10, 2008 |
