Colin Wilson RIP
I only found about this a couple of days ago, as the news was completely overshadowed by Mandela, but Colin Wilson, author of the legendary The Outsider, passed away last week.
I daresay like a few others here, Colin's work was an exciting discovery in my youth. Most importantly, he introduced to a lot of people a world of authors and thinkers they had never previously encountered. He was that rarest of things: a British philosopher interested in engaging with European thought and fearless and insistent in doing so. Thanks for everything, Colin.
