Re: Letter 3T1L - Mary Renault book letters

Okay, but Lovecraft was like. Extra racist.

I don't think it's necessary, but I don't think it's odd, either-- I'd see it on the same level as asking for no antisemitism in a request for The Grand Sophy. Sometimes the issues in canon are really glaring and feel weird when they're not addressed.

In neither case would I think it was odd that the letter-writer *didn't* include a more like that, but I wouldn't take it as am accusation if they did. With Lovecraft especially, there's a strong tradition of confronting/interrogating his racism so it's not unthinkable either that an author might decide to write Critical Race Lovecraft or that a recipient would want to make it clear that they don't want that.
