Re the post on a summarization of "The Outsider"--there is a book called "Colin Wilson: The Man and His Mind" written by Howard Dossor, which is an excellent...
Hi!! I'm writing a thesis on wilson at the moment. One of the books I'm using is Allsop's angry decade. unfortunately I returned it without noting down the...

Hello the English Eric Yes, that Ken Russell monograph is quite a curiousity, and provides some further interesting insights into Wilson the man and his ...
This talk of the Ken Russell book interests me, since I've been looking for it for some time myself and so far had no success in finding it (the local well of...
James - good luck with your search for CW's Ken Russell. I found it in a second hand bookshop in a place in the UK called Barnard Castle for £1.50!! {Where do...
Nearly a month since my last posting. Since then Ive nearly finished Beyond the Occult. Maybe I should review my previous assessment of CW's best book! It...
I just wanted to say hello to everyone here. I am a new member, but a longtime reader and collector of Colin's work. I am from London, but based in Chicago. I...
Here I would like to throw out some names of thinkers who are similiar to Colin Wilson and some observations. Some on this list Wilson has indeed pointed out...
I´d like to add Robert Anton Wilson to this list. He, like CW is interested in the occult, they both seem at some stage in their life to have been influenced...
Oh and Alfred North Whitehead would have to get into the side, Colin recently went to the states just to talk about Whitehead for the weekend.. ... From:...
Can't really agree with that about erasing Nietzsche. Wilson continually affirms that he returns again and again to Nietzsche's thought. It's Nietzsche's...
Isn't it rather pointless, cataloguing thinkers who have influenced or are in tune with CW? All you have to do is skim the index or analytical tables of any of...
Eric, I have to disagree with you. This is not necessarily a pointless exercise. As Richard points out in his thoughtful post, Wilson has a history of...

OK - I stand (or sit in this case!) corrected. I must admit I hadn't read all the postings when I posted my flippant remark. I certainly feel that Howard...

Richard, Thanks for sharing this passage. It was very interesting. The glibness you mention certainly comes through. What I also noticed is how little the...
