masami discovered 37 months ago- A more significant common ground between the two can be found in their shared disinterest in humanity as a subject for literature (Lovecraft had a stated loathing for what he termed "the humanocentric pose" [Joshi, 181] in literature) and their focus instead on byproducts of humanity: dreams, in the case of Lovecraft's dream-cycle, and literature in the case of a sizeable portion of Borges' stories. While Lovecraft rendered humanity itself to be secondary to the dreams it was capable of, Borges placed humanity below the literature it creates.
