Who's the painter?


This brooding townscape with oppressive sky above is the work of Victor Hugo, creator of Les Miserables, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, etc., etc.

It comes from a revelatory exhibition of visual art by ninety-seven famous authors - Yeats, Huxley, D H Lawrence, Hesse, Lorca, Sylvia Plath, Kerouac, Burroughs, Ginsberg, Derek Walcott, Hunter S Thompson, Douglas Coupland, all the lads.

This write-up catches the flavour. The show's over but you can still buy the book (UK price £25).
