COLIN WILSON

ANOTHER OF MY HEROES WAS COLIN WILSON HE ALSO QUIT SCHOOL AND WORKED AT MANY ODD JOBS AND AT THE AGE OF 24 WROTE "THE OUTSIDER" WHICH DEALT WITH ALIENATION CREATIVITY AND EXISTENTIALISM.

MANY OLDER WRITERS SEEMED ENVIOUS OF THIS WORK AND CRITIQUED IT BUT IT REMAINS A CLASSIC TO THIS DAY. IT IS STILL PUBLISHED IN BOTH HARD BACK AND PAPERBACK AND IS USED FOR ASSIGNMENTS IN SCHOOLS.



THIS WAS ALSO A VERY PROLIFIC WRITER WHO PUBLISHED MANY BOOKS ON MANY SUBJECTS WHICH WERE VERY WELL RESEARCHED . HE IS ALSO A FAVORITE ALONG WITH ROBERT ANTON WILSON. MANY ACADEMICS WERE INCENSED THAT SO YOUNG A MAN WITH NO PHD ETC WAS SO WELL PUBLISHED DUE TO HIS ABSOLUTELY CREATIVE MIND HE HAS WRITTEN SO MANY BOOKS I CANNOT HONESTLY TELL YOU A NUMBER BUT HE WROTE ON CRIME METAPHYSICS, PHYSICS, PHILOSOPHY , AND SO MANY SUBJECTS I HAVE NO ROOM IN MY MEMORY FOR THEM ALL BUT BE ASSURED I WAS ENTRANCED BY HIS WORKS.
