Percy Wyndham Lewis (18 November 1882 – 7 March 1957) was an English writer, painter, and critic (he dropped the name "Percy", which he disliked).
He was a co-founder of the Vorticist movement in art and edited the literary magazine of the Vorticists, BLAST.
His novels include his pre-World War I-era novel Tarr (set in Paris), and The Human Age, a trilogy comprising The Childermass (1928), Monstre Gai and Malign Fiesta (both 1955), set in the afterworld.
A fourth volume of The Human Age, The Trial of Man, was begun by Lewis but left in a fragmentary state at the time of his death.
He also wrote two autobiographical volumes, Blasting and Bombardiering (1937) and Rude Assignment: A Narrative of my Career Up-to-Date (1950).
