Later Gore Vidal suggested that Spencer Carr postpone her work in
order to write a life of Paul Bowles instead. Following an offer of
'no strings attached' cooperation from Bowles and a new two-book
contract from her US publisher, she began to write. Twelve years
and thirteen trips to Morocco later, Carr has delivered a biography
that she was able to read aloud to Bowles shortly before his death.
Gathering a wealth of information about Bowles's youth, his
writing, his music, his marriage with Jane Bowles and his sexual
relationships, this compelling and erudite biography is the
definitive account of an extraordinary life. Paul Bowles was born
in 1910. He grew up in New York and at a young age embarked upon an
artistic journey all over the world. He studied music with composer
Aaron Copland, befriended a generation of artists including
Gertrude Stein, Allen Ginsberg and W.H. Auden, and married the
writer Jane Auer (later known as Jane Bowles). He composed music
for plays and films, wrote poetry, short stories and novels
including The Sheltering Sky. He captured the imaginations of
American counter-culturalists when he took up residence in Morocco
where he remained until his death in 1999. His writings are today
recognized as some of the most original and powerful of the
twentieth century.
