THE A5 BOOK REVIEW

Travels: Collected Writings 1950-1993 is an anthology of travel writing from one of the most important American novelists of the twentieth century, Paul Bowles.  The book includes short articles and essays covering over forty years of his life including his time spent in Paris, Thailand, Kenya, and of course Morocco, one of the regions for where he is best known.  His writing is infused with deep awareness on his life experience, and on the places that have inspired and influenced him. Those who loved the momentous novel The Sheltering Sky will enjoy getting to know him better; he incorporates many stories and photographs of his friends and his wife and fellow writer Jane Bowles.

GREAT QUOTES:

"Bowles' long and full life is captured in these pieces, which also shed light on his brilliant fictions,  It was a life of his choice.  He never compromised, and thoroughly admirable in going his own way, writing what he wished, he never did anything he did not want to do; he kept at it until he died."
- Paul Theroux commenting on Paul Bowles in the introduction to Travels: Collected Writings 1950-1993
