New Mexican folklore of the Rio Abajo Book

I read this after reading The Outsider; I bought it in Reigate in a second-hand bookshop in 1968. He gives a lot more autobiographical detail in this book which was slated after all the hype with The Outsider! I even have a TLS review of the times, and I quote: "His formal education had been slight. Having read it [The Outsider] some people thought it mere rubbish. Others feared that overpraise might go to the young man's head. This fear he more than once seemed to justify by making public statements in which it was not impossible to detect. . megalomania." He or she goes onto say why RATR is even worse than The Outsider. The reviewer remained anonymous! Herbert Read praised Religion and the Rebel. I lapped up the summaries of figures such as, Pascal, Kierkegaard, Wittgenstein and Whitehead. For me reading it in my 20s, it was all exciting stuff. In sequence, I read The Age of Defeat, afterwards, The Strength to Dream, soon followed by his sf Mind Parasites and The Philosopher's Stone. Incidentally a appreciative study of his output is Colin Wilson: The Man & His Mind by Howard F Dossor publ in 1990.
Colin Wilson died in hospital, age 82, on 5 Dec 2013.
