while I would be happy to offer you a few gems, I can only feel that reading his Bio by H. Carpenter is pretty much essential for anyone who wishes to say much about his life and work.
----------
that being said...
He is as far as I know the only person ever to do all [or even more than 1]of the following:
1- Tanslate a book for the Bible [ THe 1966 Jerusalem Bible - Doubleday],
2 -contribute to the Oxford English Dictionary
3- Write on of the most important peices of Fiction ever.
4-As did G. I. Gurdjieff, create an entire Mythology.
hope that helps.
Good luck!
