From his base in Tangier he produced globally ranging novels, stories, & travel writing. This LOA Bowles set, the first annotated edition, offers the full range of his achievement: the portrait of an outsider who was one of the essential American writers of the last century. In addition to his novels --"The Sheltering Sky" (1949), "Let It Come Down" (1952), "The Spider's House" (1955), "Up Above the World" (1966)-- & his collected stories --including such classics as "A Distant Episode" and "Pages from Cold Point" -- they contain his masterpiece of travel writing, "Their Heads Are Green and Their Hands Are Blue" (1963). Throughout, Bowles shows himself a master of gothic terror & a diabolically funny observer of manners as well as a prescient guide to everything from the roots of Islamist politics to the world of Moghrebi music. W/ a hallucinatory clarity as dry & unforgiving as the desert air, Bowles sends his characters toward encounters w/ unknown & terrifying forces both outside them & within them. * The LIBRARY of AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts. Hailed as "the most important book-publishing project in the nation's history" (Newsweek), this acclaimed series is restoring America's literary heritage in "the finest-looking, longest-lasting edition ever made" (New Republic). * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this EXCELLENT copy for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL (or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee) & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.

Best known for his novel The Sheltering Sky, he has for over forty~five years worked in a variety of genres, writing novels, stories, travel accounts, essays, poetry, journals, and autobiography, each distinctively shaped by his arresting vision and style. Since 1947 he has lived as an American expatriate in Tangier, Morocco, and his groundbreaking work has formed an important departure point for an international array of writers~most notably the Beats, whose literature and lifestyle he influenced greatly. Long heralded as a writer's writer and once considered primarily a literary cult figure, Bowles has in recent years been recognized as an original~an enduring visionary whose stark, often violent tales and dispassionate objectivity prefigured and shaped much of our current literary landscape. This striking and comprehensive collection documents the range of his influence and highlights his remarkable virtuosity, what Joyce Carol Oates calls "the rich and unexpectedly variegated achievement of a major American writer:' First published in 1949 and included here in its entirety, The Sheltering Sky established Bowles as one of the most singular and promising of an extraordinary post~war generation of writers. His first collection of stories, The Delicate Prey, published in 1950, solidified that reputation. Too Far from Home: The Selected Writing of Paul Bowles is a testament to how forcefully and brilliantly he delivered on that early promise. Taking its title from a new novella published here for the first time, this volume also brings together a dozen of Bowles'S best stories; excerpts from his three other novels, Let It Come Down, The Spider's House, and Up Above the World; excerpts from Points in Time, Their Heads Are Green and Their Hands Are Blue, Days, and Without Stopping; as well as a group of poems, a selection of previously unpublished letters, and on interview conducted by Daniel Halpern. The result is the definitive Paul Bowles reader ~ a summing~up of the brilliant and diverse literary career that has spanned six decades. Paul Bowles was born in New York in 1910 and went to Europe in the 1920s to study music with Aaron Copland. He first gained recognition as a composer and has done fieldwork in Morocco as an ethno~musicologist. In 1938 he married the writer Jane Auer, who wrote under the name of Jane Bowles. After the war they settled in Tangier, which has remained Paul Bowles's permanent home.
