**Love life of lovecraft**

I have always been curious about Sonia Greene, the woman who married H.P. Lovecraft. She supported Lovecraft financially for several years, and famously described him as “an adequately excellent lover” who never told her that he loved her. A few years earlier, she had dated Alistair Crowley so she must have had a taste for morose men obsessed with the supernatural. Even more surprising for the Lovecraft fan is that Greene was a Jewish immigrant, a category of person whom Lovecraft often blamed for the downfall of his beloved “chalk-white” civilization. According to Lovecraft’s obsessive biographer S.T. Joshi, Greene was herself a writer (she published a story called “The Invisible Monster” and was president of the United ■■■■■■■ Press Association for a while). She had a daughter from her first husband, Florence Carol, who became a successful journalist  
The couple had married in 1924 after a strange two-year courtship in which Lovecraft confessed to Greene that she was the only woman who had ever kissed him in his adult life. Well after some consequences Greene left lovecraft Little is known about Greene’s life after she left Lovecraft. Apparently this fascinating woman, a pioneer in both business and the writing world, was deemed so unimportant that the Wikipedians deleted her entry on Wikipedia – now “Sonia Greene” redirects to “H.P. Lovecraft.” Talk about a slap in the face
