Panty Fetishist

I’ve always been a big fan of Colin Wilson. Zapski introduced me to The Outsider back in college and it really gave me a fresh perspective. It was a nice alternative to the bleak and pessimistic existentialism I learned from the French guys Camus and Sartre, not to mention Heidegger. Since that first introduction I’ve read a number of his other books covering religion, crime, the occult, history and biography. All of them have a similar theme and all of them are well written.

So today gTodd pings me and asks if I’ve heard the news about Mr. Wilson. My first thought was that maybe he had died. The truth is he recently release an autobiography and it is getting panned by the MSM critics. Either they can’t understand anything deeper than a pool or who are mad at Colin Wilson who is not of the establishment (meaning a University degree in anything; how dare he pursue scholarly things without one!) and has actually managed to pull together a new and positive philosophy out of the carcass of Existentialism. In fact I have to laugh because one of the only things they are picking on Mr. Wilson for is because apparently he likes women’s panties. Not on his head; just in general.

I don’t see anything wrong with that; I like women’s panties, too. Especially on women! Mmmm… Anyways, I’m looking forward to picking up the book and reviewing it here someday in the not too distant future. Meanwhile you can read this very good article which does make reference to the panties. Enjoy reading about one of my favorite writers and panty fetishist!
