Colin Wilsons 1956 work The Outsider contributed largely to the popularization of existentialism in Britain and helped earn him the Angry Young Man label. Here he takes us on a journey back to this era, revealing fascinating and sometimes disturbing stories from the greats, including John Osborne, Kingsley Amis, Kenneth Tynan, and John Braineto name but a few. Historically, the Angry Young Man movement gave birth to the satire movement of the 1960sBeyond the Fringe, That Was the Week that Was, and Private Eye. Their irreverence aroused enthusiasm, and a new anti-establishment mood developed from Look Back in Anger and The Outsider. The story of that period makes a marvelously lively tale which, most importantly, was recorded by someone who was actually there.

Many friends have read this book, either in whole or in part, and made valuable comments. First in the list I should mention Bill Hopkins, who suggested the book, even though I felt I had covered much of it in my autobiography Dreaming to Some Purpose. I am glad he persisted.
My publisher Jeremy Robson offered enthusiasm and kindly concern at a critical stage.
John Sutton made warm comments that also spurred me on.
Other friends who have read it while it was in progress are Howard Dossor, Ted Brown and Chris Nelson the latter also sent me a useful article about John Braines last days.
My friend Brad Spurgeon, of the New York Herald Tribune, was kind enough to supply me with the information about Sartres daily intake of alcohol, tobacco and drugs from Le Ventre des philosophes: Critique de la raison dittique by Michel Onfray.
My old friend and editor, Paul Newman, not only read the book chapter by chapter but typed the Analytical Table of Contents and Bibliography.
Other friends who have been helpful have been Christopher Logue, Laura Del Rivo, David Mason, Maurice Bassett and Geoff Ward. Arnold Wesker made some helpful comments about John Osborne, and about the section on himself. Doris Lessing likewise offered useful insights and some excellent advice. So did Ronald Duncans daughter Briony Lawson. Antoni Diller read the section on Stuart Holroyd and was also able to communicate some useful facts.
Another old friend, Professor Dale Salwak, was able to help me locate some essential material, while Professor Richard Bradford, author of the two best critical studies of Philip Larkin and Kingsley Amis, was able to point me in the right direction.
Finally, I wish to thank the Observer newspaper and Longmans publishers for allowing me to quote Kenneth Tynans original review of Look Back in Anger, and Bloomsbury publishers for permission to quote from The Diaries of Kenneth Tynan, edited by John Lahr. Messrs Faber & Faber gave permission to quote from Philip Larkins prose and poetry.
