It's always better to stay alongside of your life. Jane Bowles 'Plain Pleasures' Jane Auer was born in New York City on February 22, 1917 and raised mostly on Long Island. At twenty-one, she married Manhattanite Paul Bowles . After the civil ceremony, they took off for Panama. According to Paul Bowles' autobiography Without Stopping , Jane Bowles saw enough in Panama in ten days to enable her to use it as a locale for her first novel, Two Serious Ladies , which was published in 1943. From 1947, she lived abroad, mostly in Tangier , with her husband. In 1954, Jane's play In the Summer House was produced. It was met with acclaim from the less conventional (including Tennessee Williams). She wrote short stories, a novella, and in 1966, her final novel, Plain Pleasures Her work was subjected to much criticism, possibly because of its subtle nature. She took the criticism good-naturedly, although she drank heavily. Her life was like

    Extractions: Que ce soit dans ses romans, ses nouvelles, ou ses récits de voyage, l'écriture de Paul Bowles ne découle pas de la tradition anglo-américaine, mais d'écrivains "exotiques" (en tout cas pour le critique littéraire américain moyen) tels que Valéry, Roussel, Gide ou Gertrude Stein, et plus tard du folklore oral mexicain et marocain. Paul Bowles écoute autant qu'il lit. en 1987, il disait: "Il est vrai que je comprends la peur. J'y vois le fond de la conscience du monde. Pour d'autres, c'est la joie: je ne connais pas la joie. Je la connais, mais pas quand il s'agit d'exprimer quelque chose. La peur vient sans doute de mon enfance. J'avais peur du noir, de l'obscurité: pas qu'il y ait des monstres cachés, mais juste du noir lui-même. Pourtant, à l'inverse de certains enfants, je ne voulais pas la lumière. Je ne pensais pas que quelque chose allait apparaître de sous mon lit, j'avais plutôt peur que quelque chose sorte de moi, des monstres, ou que je sois moi-même un monstre, ou que ma mère soit un monstre qui allait entrer dans ma chambre au milieu de la nuit." Dans une autre interview, en 1996, il ajoutait: "Si l'on considère la vie des gens, on peut toujours être sûr que quelque chose d'abominable va se passer, même si ça n'arrive pas. Une fois qu'on s'est protégé de la mort, on peut penser à l'amour, mais pas avant. Maintenant, je suis trop âgé pour avoir peur. C'est-à-dire que plus on est jeune, plus on a peur, on a peur de mourir et de perdre ce qui aurait été une longue vie. Je n'ai pas tant eu peur de mourir que de souffrir, et ça, je ne m'en suis pas débarrassé."

    Extractions: Nachrichten Inland Euro International Rubriken Homestory Deutsches Haus Antifa Termine Alternative Lebensformen Sonstiges Archiv Jungle Pin Board Jungle Abos Impressum ... Jungle World in der Schweiz E-Mail Redaktion Webmaster Paul und Jane Bowles Ende der zwanziger Jahre gehört Paul Bowles zu den jungen amerikanischen Expatriates aus gutem Hause, die Europa gegen die puritanische Provinz daheim eintauschen. Neunzehnjährig schifft er sich ein nach Paris, jobbt als Telefonist, wohnt kurz im New Yorker Village und beendet seine Unikarriere nach nur einem Jahr. Bowles nimmt Kompositionsunterricht bei Nadia Boulanger und befreundet sich mit dem Komponisten Aaron Copland, mit dem er Anfang der Dreißiger nach Berlin reist. Mit Christopher Isherwood flaniert er am Nollendorfplatz, sitzt im Café des Westens und schnappt Vokabeln und Sätze auf wie "Noch jemand ohne Fahrschein?". "Nirgendwo sonst habe ich mich so unerwünscht gefühlt", notiert er in "Without Stopping", seiner noch als literarisches Greenhorn begonnenen Autobiografie. Anfang der Dreißiger fährt er erstmals nach Tanger, aber erst Ende der Vierziger wird - immer wieder unterbrochen von Reisen - die Stadt zu seinem Refugium. Als Paul Bowles 1937 bei einem Treffen mit dem Lyriker John La Touche und Erika Mann die damals 20jährige Jane Auer kennen lernt, hat sie bereits ihren ersten Roman geschrieben. Paul, ein eleganter, hochaufgeschossener blonder 26jähriger, dessen zurückhaltende Art William Burroughs später "beinahe unmenschlich höflich" findet, trifft hier auf eine Antipodin, die verkündet: "You are my enemy!"

    Extractions: page: Jane Bowles, born in New York City on February 22, 1917, spent her life examining lesbian identity with an honest and sardonic wit. In 1934, on a ship returning from Switzerland, Bowles met the French author Celine, whose work she had been studying, and she suddenly decided that "I am a writer." Her first novel, La Phaeton Hypocrite , a parody of the Phaeton myth, was privately printed. Although admired by her mother, Bowles regarded the novel, no copy of which survives, as a childish exercise. Bowles's adventures in the lesbian and gay bars of Greenwich Village, and her open pursuit of women lovers, caused her mother and her family consternation. In 1937, she was introduced to the novelist and composer Paul Bowleshimself a homosexualand agreed to marry him. The two soon recognized that their marriage would succeed only as a platonic friendship; both continued their homosexual liaisons. Sponsor Message.

Jane Bowles meiner Jane, einer anderen und mir “, wie sie selbst sagt. Viele Stimmen mischen sich im Kopf dieser Briefeschreiberinnen, wie ein fernes Echo von Rimbauds „ Je est un autre “. Mit dem Satz „ Vielleicht kannst du mir schreiben, was ich meine “ schliesst das atmosphärische Hörspiel. – Ein herrlich offener Schluss für diese Text- und Klangmontage wandernder, sich verschiebender und überlagernder Identitäten! Francks Sprechfluss unterlegt Ulrike Haage mit Samples von Maurice Ravel, marokkanischer Trance-Musik, Count Basie oder der Musical-Sängerin Libby Holman, einer engen Freundin und wichtigen Briefadressatin von Jane; oder es tauchen Strassengeräusche von Tanger auf, das verlorene Tippen einer Schreibmaschine, Fetzen von Bar-Gesprächen, das Rauschen und Scheppern alter Schallplatten und natürlich viele coole Haage-Moods. So ist eine leidenschaftliche und zugleich erhellende Hommage an Jane Bowles entstanden, eine Sehnsuchtsvertiefung, aktive Memoria, ein Lebendigwerden und Weiterführen von Jane Bowles‘ Stimme und exotischem Lebensweg, der einerseits die moralisch libertine Party-Gesellschaft der 90er Jahre antizipiert und anderseits in seiner ausgestandenen Verzweiflung eine Zeit widerspiegelt, in der „

    Extractions: Index of Works by other Authors Paul Frederic Bowles, born December 30, 1910, in New York City, was the only child of Claude Dietz and Rena Winnewisser Bowles. Bowles began writing short stories and composing music as a child, and he was only a teenager when his surrealist poetry was published in the magazine Transition . Bowles briefly attended the University of Virginia but dropped out in 1929 and moved to Paris where he met and became friends with Gertrude Stein. This began over forty years of nearly constant traveling for Bowles, who once said of himself that he was addicted to movement. He returned to the University of Virginia in the spring of 1930, but left again after one semester to study music, first under Aaron Copland in Berlin (1930-32) and then with Virgil Thomson in Paris (1933-34). During these years he also made his first visit, at Stein's suggestion, to Tangier, Morocco. In 1937, Bowles met author and playwright Jane Auer; they were married the following year. The Bowleses eventually settled in Tangier, although both traveled often throughout North Africa, Europe, Latin America, and the United States. At one point Paul even owned Taprobane, an island off the coast of Sri Lanka.

    Extractions: A B C D ... Paul Bowles in Morocco Acclaimed writer and composer Paul Bowles is spotlighted in this intriguing documentary. Leaving the United States in the 1940s, Bowles eventually settled in Morocco. The filmmaker finds this urbane and fascinating man in Tangier, his longtime home. Reading passages from his novels, recounting stories from his past, visiting his favorite haunts and philosophizing about the Moroccan people and their lifestyle, Bowles is captivating. Bowles' homosexuality isn't mentioned; indeed, the film is more about Moroccan culture than about the writer himself. Paul Bowles The Complete Outsider The fascinating life of American expatriate cult writer Paul Bowles, including his marriage to lesbian author Jane Bowles, is candidly revealed in this documentary filmed in Tangier, Morocco, his home for most of his adult life. He recounts his early career in America and life in his adopted land, and fleetingly touches on his own homosexuality. Of special interest to fans is his discussion of his early work in classical composition; he has in fact written four operas. A mystical character, reserved to the point of being cryptic, complex and contradictory and quietly at peace with himself. "A tantalizing sketch of the legendary expatriate."
