Fine condition. 192 pages."Bowles, one of the four or five best writers in English in the second half of the twentieth century, embraced the desert as a Christian saint embraces his martyrdom. His self-abnegation and his love of traditional culture made him one of the keenest observers of other civilizations we have ever had in America. Unlike his countrymen he did not brashly set out to improve the rest of the world. For Bowles, Americanization was the problem, not the solution. As these startling, sober travel pieces show, Bowles, because of his powers of negative capability, was able to enter into the inner truth of even the most remote places and peoples." Paul Bowles was born in Queens, New York, in 1910. He began his travels as a teenager, setting off for Paris, telling no one of his plans. In 1930 he visited Morocco for the first time, with Aaron Copland, with whom he was studying music. His early reputation was as a composer and he wrote the scores for several Tennessee Williams plays. Bowles married the writer Jane Auer in 1938, and after the war the couple settled in Tangier. In Morocco Bowles turned principally to fiction. The Sheltering Sky inspired by his travels in the Sahara was a New York Times bestseller in 1950, and has gone on to sell more than 250,000 copies. It was followed by three further novels, numerous short stories, nonfiction, and translations. Bowles died in Tangier in 1999., Ecco Press, 1984, 3, London: The Bodley Head, 1985. Complete critical biography detailing the playwright's family and background, the patterns and pressures of his promiscuous homosexuality and his relationships with some of the great actors of our time as well as the story of the creation of many of the greatest plays of our times.

Thomas Lanier Williams, is more commonly known as Tennessee Williams, and has written some of the most enduring plays of the 20th century (think The Glass Menagerie and A Streetcar Named Desire to name but two), has written his life story. Of his upbringing, his struggle as a playwright, people he has known throughout the world and of his personal life – frankly about his homosexuality, his battles with both pills and alcohol and his eventual confinement into a hospital from which he emerged in 1970.
