“Michael and the Cloak of Colour” by Colin MacInnes (8pp.) in ENCOUNTER Vol. XXV, #6 (London: December 1965).

Ed. Stephen Spender and Melvin J. Lasky.

One of the most significant articles published on Michael X, described by John Williams (who devotes five pages to it in his biography) as “one of the few really serious attempts to get to grips with what Michael stood for.” It includes MacInnes’ perceptive impressions of him, based on a series of meetings, and the ideas he expressed in the piece exerted a considerable influence on Michael’s thinking.
