    Extractions: Having read somewhere that Paul Bowles did not have, or want, a telephone, I had written him a letter before my first visit, asking if he would mind meeting with me. He graciously wrote back immediately, and I later discovered that many people simply show up at his apartment, introducing themselves on the spot. He is unfailingly courteous to all of them. The purpose of my own intrusion on his time was to gather what information I could in connection with a book I was writing about his fiction ( A World Outside: The Fiction of Paul Bowles ), and later, a follow-up article on his translations from the Moghrebi ("Paul Bowles/Mohmammed Mrabet: Translation, Transformation, and Transcultural Discourse"). When I found his apartment building, a semi-modern, semi-high rise affair across the street from a large box-like structure that once served as the American Consulate, Mohammed Mrabet was also just arriving. He showed me upstairs to the correct doorsomewhat skepticallyand Bowles explained to him right away that he had been expecting me (though not necessarily on that precise day). We sat in his cluttered living room and talked for a long time. Periodically Bowles would stop to say something to Mrabet in Spanish or Moghrebi, and several times he rose from his seat to show me something, wandering away from the range of my cheap tape recorder. During the course of the afternoon he offered me a kif cigarette, although he declined to partake himself. I had been an undergraduate in the sixties, so this was certainly not my first experience with cannabis (far from it), but the combination of the kif's strength and my own jet-lag took its toll. I became hopelessly lost on my way back to my hotel, wandering for what seemed like hours through the narrow, labyrinthine streets of old Tangier. Not until the next morning did I recall the warning about hashish, a substance closely akin to kif, in "The Delicate Prey": "Carried along on its hot fumes, a man can escape very far from the world of meaning."

    Extractions: Paul Bowles Baptism of Solitude I relish the idea that in the night, all around me in my sleep, sorcery is burrowing its invisible tunnels in every direction... PB Perhaps one of the greatest living voices in modern literature, Paul Bowles transcends the ordinary boundaries of what we call writing and poetry ; in truth, he is a creator of worlds, a visionary with an imagination so poignant, feverish, inventive , and apparently limitless that his work seems of another mystical time and place altogether. His most famour novel, "The Sheltering Sky," written in 1959, depicts the dreamlike landscape of Morocco the bustling activity of the medina, the lurking majesty of the Sahara that would become central to his later work as he established permanent residency in Tangier, a city he'd first visited in 1931 at the age of 21. Always the weary traveler, to this day Bowles has never relinquished the thrill of the journey, the magic of discovery that comes from roaming the edges of the earth by diving headlong into the mysteries of the human spirit. Baptism of Solitude offers an extremely rare and intimate glimpse into the mind of this extraordinary artist. Taped in late 1994 at his home in Tangier, the recording captures the cadence of a modern magus, his readings sounding almost like incantations as they wend their way seamlessly through the ambient soundscapes constructed by producer Bill Laswell. Setting the tone with a stirring passage from his 1966 novel "Up Above the World," Bowles conjures lasting images of love, fury, quiet desparation and supreme enlightenment, all of them inextricably entwined in a mosaic much like those found in the mosques of his adopted city. "There is a drumming out there most nights," he writes in his autobiography. "It never awakens me; I hear the drums and incorporate them into my dream, like the nightly cries of the muezzins."

    Extractions: @import url("http://www.who2.com/css/standard_gamma.css"); Paul Bowles is best known as the expatriate author of the 1949 novel The Sheltering Sky , and is a literary icon for his connections with legendary 20th century artists such as Gertrude Stein , Tennessee Williams, Orson Welles , Aaron Copland and William S. Burroughs . After visiting Europe and Northern Africa in the early 1930s, Bowles worked in New York as a composer and music critic. In 1938 he married acclaimed writer Jane Auer (later Jane Bowles), and in 1947 he moved to Morocco, where he began writing. The Sheltering Sky was a critical and commercial success, and Bowles secured a place for himself as an outsider and an astute observer of the differences between cultures. His other works include The Spider's House A Life Full of Holes (1964) and an autobiography, Without Stopping Extra credit : Italian filmmaker Bernardo Bertolucci made a film version of The Sheltering Sky (1990), starring Debra Winger and

Sunday, 7 July 2002 The sound of the sea on the wind blowing through the streets of Essaouira today is the same as it was two hundred years ago, when Andrew Layton had a small exporting business there, together with two Frenchmen, Messieurs Secard and Barre. The three men often set out on their horses into the country-side roundabout, Layton's greyhounds accompanying them. One day the three went out of the town on their horses. To escape the wind they rode inland, rather than skirting the dunes to the south. Their route led them past several small Chleuh villages.

    Extractions: PAUL BOWLES IN MOROCCO "Paul Bowles opened the world of Hip. He let in the murder, the drugs, the incest, the death of the Square...the call of the orgy, the end of civilization." -Norman Mailer 1970, 59 min. Produced, directed, and photographed by Gary Conklin “The documentary captured some of the ominous tone so brilliantly manipulated by the author. Going into the streets and out into the desert, the camera recorded crowded bazaars and snake charmers, religious ecstatics, and ten year old street hustlers, camel caravans and magnificent oasis. Bowles is also a student of the area’s music and the soundtrack provided a first rate accompaniment of dazzling rhythms." (Both require Quicktime) "There's no such thing as a tour. It s all an idea, not a reality, but travel is real because you may get bogged down in a place for years, or for the rest of your life, you never know. But you’ve got to be ready to do that, if you’re traveling really. In other words...you're not on your way anywhere, and you don't have any home to go to when you finish, so you keep going. Well, that is not touring, that’s traveling.

    The American author and composer paul bowles, best known for The Sheltering Sky, dies in Morocco aged 88.  
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/526429.stm
    
    Extractions: The American author and composer Paul Bowles, best known for The Sheltering Sky, has died in Morocco aged 88. He died of a heart attack on Thursday in the port of Tangiers, where he had lived for most of his life. He had been in hospital with cardiac problems since 7 November. He was the last survivor of a whole generation of American writers which included William S Burroughs and Jack Kerouac. Although not a 'beat' himself, Bowles was heavily influenced by the introspection which marked their works. Wealthy family His existentialist masterpiece, The Sheltering Sky, the film version of which was directed by Bernardo Bertolucci, details the destruction of an American couple in the soporific decadence of 1930s Morocco, drawing upon his own experiences as a long-term American expatriate in Tangiers. Paul Frederick Bowles was born in New York City in 1910 into a wealthy New England family. During his early years an aunt and uncle introduced him to the esoterica of yoga, theosophy and transcendentalism, themes which he would explore further in later life.

    Extractions: Filmed in Morocco and featuring exclusive interviews with cultural icons such as Allen Ginsberg, Paul Bowles: The Complete Outsider explores the esoteric life of the man who wrote the The Sheltering Sky , one of the most provocative and influential novels of the 20th century. As an icon to the Beat Generation, Bowles’ writing and life have influenced everyone from William Burroughs (whose Naked Lunch was inspired by Bowles), to David Cronenberg’s film of the same name, to Bernardo Bertolucci, whose film adaptation of The Sheltering Sky was a critical and popular hit. Bowles led an enigmatic existence on the outskirts of accepted moral behavior in harsh but beautiful Morocco. Despite being married (to fellow author Jane Bowles), Bowles and his wife had numerous homosexual affairs. The film explores not only his development as a writer and composer, but also his complicated personal life. In a series of intimate conversations, Bowles speaks candidly about his writing, his music, his use of drugs and his array of friends – including W.H. Auden, Tennessee Williams, Aaron Copland, Gertrude Stein, and Allen Ginsberg. Interwoven with rare archival footage, photos and interviews
