After Colin Wilson's brief spell of public adulation in the late 1950s (at the time of The Outsider) many critics and erstwhile admirers pronounced him ' finished.' In fact, Wilson has been writing with extraordinary industry ever since in his cottage in Gorran Haven, Cornwall. His books are still selling well, though less in Britain than abroad.
In this programme WILFRED DE'ATH discusses his writings and philosophy with Wilson himself and with two of his friends, KENNETH ALLSOP and BILL HOPKINS.
