S.T. Joshi in the NYT

Two things I didn’t know but am now aware of, thanks to the Times profile of S.T. Joshi:

• Joshi lives here in Seattle. Some quick online sleuthing reveals that, although he was profiled a few years back in my neighborhood’s goofy little newspaper, he actually lives up near Ravenna. It’s always surprising and gratifying how many people with some relation to SFF live in this metropolitan area.
• True Detective, which I haven’t seen but am interested in, was influenced by Robert W. Chambers’s 1895 book The King in Yellow, which I haven’t read but am also interested in.
