This is important work sir, I'm looking forward to a collection of these critical essays of yours in a volume. Writers such as Wylie ought to be remembered and their work studied.

Thank you for the kind words. I have heard rumors of an Obelisk book. Sadly, I don’t think it would sell, and in order for it to be something worthwhile, others have to start writing here. It can’t just be my stuff.

Thanks for this post. I didn't know about Wylie before this, but I will check out his work now.

It's sad that Wylie's books seemed to drop completely out of sight as soon as he died. I've always wondered why no one has written his biography. He was one of the most prolific and influential writers of the 20th century, as you show in thus article.
