His work covered a broad area, touching many disciplines and topics. Wylie’s life as a writer is hard to categorize.
Those books left an indelible mark in their field and planted seeds that would become the avatar of America’s popular mythology: the super-hero. In genre fiction circles, he’s most well-known and remembered for his novels like Gladiator, The Savage Gentleman, and When Worlds Collide. A prolific writer of novels, nonfiction, screenplays, essays, and articles (many of which were for The Saturday Evening Post), Wylie may be most famous for his 1943 book, Generation of Vipers, which essentially attacked every American institution from religion to government to mothers. Some people were incredibly famous in their time, but have faded from view even as their influence abides.
The annals of history overflow with the overlooked.
