Wild Talents

Fort's literary style is characterized by a captivating mix of skepticism and curiosity, employing an almost journalistic approach to document bizarre phenomena like spontaneous human combustion, levitation, and other anomalies that challenge the very laws of physics. Written in the early 20th century, this work positions itself within the burgeoning fields of pseudoscience and the supernatural, reflecting the era's fascination with both scientific advancement and the allure of the unknown. Charles Fort, an American writer and researcher, is best known for his critical investigation into unexplained phenomena, which informed his unique perspective on the limits of scientific inquiry.
