>>28017She divorced Lovecraft because he was an asexual weirdo who refused to get a job. She supported him for most of their marriage and was eventually forced to move to Cleveland for work, leaving him in Brooklyn.

True about his family, he had a small trust fund that would have allowed him to go to university and write in modest comfort but it was taken away when the family business went broke when he was a teenager.
He wrote "pulp" (for Amazing Stories) because they paid. Literary fiction was a rich man's sport back then (and still is, mostly).
