Book Synopsis
Son of a stevedore and a stowaway, W. Pharaoh was born on the docks of the Suez Canal in the mid 1960’s.
As a young man, Pharaoh aspired to write lurid paperbacks and combed the back alleys of Cairo in search of rare pulp novels.
W. Pharaoh started making art during a harrowing experience at the Philly Museum of Art, when Nude Descending A Staircase fell off the wall and broke his foot.
Mr. Pharaoh claims he’s short on talent but long on experience.
…this critic’s opinion is it’s just the reverse.
