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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 650 0 $a Civilization $x Philosophy. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Wilson, Colin, 1931-2013, author. $t Outsider. $d New York : Tarcher Perigee, [2016] $z 9781101992579 $w (DLC) 2016041829 830 0 $a Tarcher cornerstone editions. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170907010435.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2F8905CE19C611E7BD0085CCDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
