My friend William Kevin Burke said that after he read the Schrodinger's Cat trilogy, and I would say it of every book Robert Anton Wilson ever wrote. We live in a world where most people can't really call themselves particularly wise (and know it) while a few so-called leaders pretend to be wise; the truly wise number but a handful and often go unrecognized. Even among the wise handful Wilson has few peers. When very young I thought the grownups really understood what was going on: Wilson, that rare bird, actually seems to. I want to see him win a Nobel. RAW's writing often carries so much meaning that one understands only a little at the first reading (I didn't feel I had really mined Schrodinmger's Cat until about the fifth reading. If such depth seems intimidating, would you rather read five shallow, insipid books once? Besides, he runs an easy installment plan: laugh now, understand later.) RAW wrote "Reality Is What You Can Get Away With" as a film script, but it hasn't made it onto a movie screen yet. One may hope, however: modern technology has made it easier to put even the most fantastic visions onscreen quite cheaply, assuming one HAS a vision to communicate. He has.
