The Outsider: The Classic Exploration of Rebellion and Creativity (Tarcher Cornerstone Editions)

Description:

Colin Wilson's classic exploration of the rebel as genius, with a new introduction by Gary Lachman.

When the upstart English writer Colin Wilson debuted on the literary scene with
The Outsider in 1956, it marked one of the opening notes of the cultural revolution of the sixties. Wilson celebrated the misfit not as a figure be "fixed" and reintegrated into society, but as a lone journeyer who often had a stirring artistic, political, or spiritual innovation to convey to society.

Wilson lived this book as much as wrote it. As an impoverished 23-year-old, the Englishman slept in a tent in a London park so that he could be free of material demands to dedicate himself fully to his study. When The Outsider appeared in 1956, it became a sensation among both critics and beats, who formed the vanguard of the dawning Aquarian Age.

In Wilson's epic exploration of mystics, visionaries, literary pioneers, political troublemakers, and rule breakers of all sorts, he evoked a new kind of heroism, which changed how we view ourselves and our purpose in life. 

The Outsider is now reissued and reset in a beautiful Tarcher Cornerstone Edition, with a new introduction by Wilson's friend and biographer, Gary Lachman. This new volume coincides with Tarcher's publication of Lachman's biography of Wilson, Beyond the Robot.

I explains why I felt the way I felt and what do to about it. It taught me to accept that I am not like other people and to just keep taking advantage of that by making art!So, I do that.Thank you, Colin. It's hard to believe you wrote a book this deep at such a young age. But you did, and I thank you. Who knows how many lives you've saved by explaining to people "like us" just why we feel so set apart from most pother people? I cannot even imagine how many.This book is a MUST if you feel like a "misfit" or if you just know that you see the world differently but do not know why. It is not an easy read, but it is worth its weight in gold.If you relate to this review at all, do not hesitate. BUY THIS BOOK AND READ IT. And then, let's make some art and be happy about it for a change. ;)

I read this book when I was in high school in the sixties, and it is still one of my top ten. It remains an excellent survey of some of the great poets and artists of the last two hundred years with an important theme.

I found it to be a difficult read, and knowing he classic writers would be helpful. I put it down and picked it up a lot, always finding something a little more fascinating. I think it a worthy purchase for a book case, and to have in my library is a great bonus.
