McLuhan classified Wyndham Lewis as having an eye bias, but later in the early 70s McLuhan realized that Lewis actually had a tactile bias which Lewis misidentified as a visual bias (see LETTERS, p.424).
Here we see Sheila Watson, McLuhan's most intimate colleague in studying 20th Century literature, discovering Lewis' eye bias symbolically expressed in the character, Kerr-Orr.
It was Sheila Watson whom McLuhan first informed of his startling realization of Lewis' emphasis on tactility.
