| Summary: | In 1970, William S. Burroughs and artist Malcolm McNeill began a small collaborative project on a comic entitled "The unspeakable Mr. Hart," which was to be followed up by a project entitled "Ah Pook is here." Ah Pook was never finished in its intended form. In 1979 a prose collection that included only the words from the collaboration was released, but the images remained unseen. Malcolm McNeill created nearly a hundred paintings, illustrations, and sketches for the book, and these, finally, are seeing the light of day in "The lost art of Ah Pook is here." |
