I've just bought a new book called "House unauthorized: Vasculitis, Clinic Duty, and Bad Bedside Manner" which I didn't even know existed until this morning. Obviously, I haven't had a chance to read all of it yet, but 24 authors have contributed to this book, and it has two interesting chapters about the House and Wilson dynamic.
The first of these two chapters, written by Joyce Millman, attempts to explain why Wilson chooses to be friends with someone like House. It's a fascinating read. It suggests that Wilson has a "masochistic tolerance for abuse and humiliation", mentions that Wilson has an obsessive interest in his friend's love life and states quite clearly that the reason Wilson is unable to sustain a long-term, monogamous commitment to a woman is because "he has a man-crush on House."
The second House/Wilson chapter, written by Bradley H. Sinor is also interesting. The author states that when he started to watch House, he noticed immediately that there was something "almost supernatural about him." (Wilson).
The author notes that sometimes House would look up, and Wilson has appeared as if by magic, with no sign that he had walked into the room, i.e no sound of a door opening, or a greeting. Also, Sinor cites examples where House is talking to Wilson, and someone would walk up to House and ignore Wilson completely. As if he isn't even there. Is Wilson, House's imaginary friend some of the time, the author asks.
If you live in the U.K, look out for this book. From what I've read so far, it's worth the money.
