I read it in my twenties and thought it transformative. I'm not sure how it would hold up now.
I liked it so much that I read one of his novels (
The Sex Diary of Gerard Sorme) and one of his non-fiction follow ups to
The Outsider and went to hear him speak when he came to my grad school -- and concluded from that further sampling that he was a flake ...
Still,
The Outsider shaped my further reading for a while. No regrets.
