Primarily self-educated going through several high schools because of abuse, he quit school in 1960 at age 15 after being accused of having plagiarized a 20-page paper he wrote on Napoleon I of France(courttheatre). By this time, Wilson knew that he wanted to be a writer, but this created tension with his mother, who wanted him to become a lawyer. She forced him to leave the family home and he enlisted in the United States Army for a three-year stint in 1962, but left after one year and went back to working

After his fathers’ demise in May 1885, the family moved around the country; they eventually landed in Lawrence, Massachusetts where he graduated from Lawrence High School.
