As we withdraw farther from American canonical literature and
poetry and move closer to a re-appraisal of literature's impact
upon the arts through media, we may easily find a match for greater
humanism and popular interaction in American rock culture through
Paul Bowles. In this work, Bowles is re-invented within the
postmodern, the postcolonial, and the renegade future underscored
by liberal elites that had breathed new life into the American
counterculture. Re-Creating Paul Bowles attests to the moments of
relentless humanism and imaginative transformation that are most
dreamlike, engaging the antagonism of psychology with imperialism
at last. In his youth a classical composer and critic, Bowles
deserves credit for spawning new generations of rock and pop music
through his use of sound and tapping of non-Western or non-European
folk music, bringing classic ethnography to the rock generation
with Music of Morocco. Re-Creating Paul Bowles examines the Latin
American, American, African, and Arab moments of his scholastic
effort, a primary beginning for understanding modern popular
music's free transcription of tradition. Re-Creating Paul Bowles
includes several examples of films that adapt the author's personal
life and times, the production of surrealist technique in film and
literature, and the re-invention of classic works such as The
Sheltering Sky and Collected Stories. It assumes the technique for
re-production allows the elder Bowles greater freedom in crossing
cultural boundaries and overruling the colonialist separateness
that guarded cultural content for centuries. Bowles has always
deserved re-appraisal in the American academy-and liberation from
his stereotypical cult figure identity, a positive force in the
ethnic comprehension of Self and society.
