Cowboy / Deleted File

A deleted chapter from Sinclair's book, American Smoke, concerning Brian Catling and his four unpublished Westerns. Sinclair writes: 'I was interested in the idea of a continent and a frontier culture convincingly accessed without any requirement to quit our native shores. Catling's creatures were so seductively registered that they began to react, chemically, with the obsessive nightmares and journeyings of William Burroughs and Malcolm Lowry.'

Duplicated typescript plus 4 black and white images. 13 loose sheets in a brown foolscap folder with sticker label.

26 copies are numbered and signed by Sinclair and Catling.
