Publication details: Oxford: Basil Blackwell,1936,
Rare Book
Scarce, the author obscure the verse is experimental in its attempts to describe Tangier and Rabat, quite unlike the variety generally encountered in Blackwell's publications, which this neither resembles in appearance or content. Eschewing punctuation and all in lower case, Pearson proceeds via ellipsis and elision portmanteaux abound. There is no reference in the verse to Tangier as a gay centre and whether the author is the same Neil Pearson of this period described in Anthony Blond's memoir, chairman of the Campaign for Homosexual Equality, is difficult to substantiate but not impossible.
