The book written by Jack Nicholson's character in The Shining is to be published for real.
In the 1980 film horror film, Jack Torrance (played by Nicholson) decided to be a caretaker in a secluded motel in a bid to finish his novel in peace. However, he slowly descends into madness, and his book only features the repeated words : 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy'.
And now the book is to be published by New York artist Phil Buehler, which will see the same words printed with adjusted formatting on each of the 80 pages.
Buehler said, "One is forced to consider the author, heroically pitting himself against the Sisyphusean sentence. It's that metatextual struggle of Man vs. Typewriter that gives this book its spellbinding power.
"Some will dismiss it as simplistic; that's like dismissing a Pollack canvas as mere splatters of paint."
Stanley Kubrick directed the classic horror film based on a novel by Stephen King.
