The —, 1956 volume of non-fiction by Colin Wilson (8)

I believe the answer is:

outsider

(Other definitions for outsider that I've seen before include "One not part of group" , "Not one of the in-crowd" , "One not in a particular group" , "One unlikely to win" , "Someone excluded" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
