The sheltering sky Senso 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."

Paul Bowles A site about the American Writer, Composer and Photographer His Life Bowles, Paul (1910-1999 ), American writer and composer, born in New York City. In the 1930s Bowles left the U.S. and studied in Europe under American composer Aaron Copland. He showed his poetry to Gertrude Stein in Paris and traveled with Aaron Copland through Germany and Morocco. Throughout the late 1930s and early 1940s Bowles developed a brilliant career as a composer for ballet, theater and films. Between 1943 and 1947 he wrote scores for twelve plays. Occasionally he composed more ambitious works, suchs as the Concerto for Two pianos (1946-7) and the Opera The Wind Remains . The fact that he is not forgotten as a composer proves the recent recordings of his chamber music. In 1938 Bowles married Jane Auer, a playwright and novelist, and in 1947 the couple traveled to North Africa, eventually settling in Tangier. In Morocco he started writing again and in 1949 Bowles published his first novel, The Sheltering Sky . This book became a best-seller and was made into a film in 1991. The Sheltering Sky was followed by the novels Let It Come Down (1952) and The Spider's House (1955). In these works, Bowles placed Americans in the North African landscape to dramatize the increasing alienation of his characters. The most of his novels were written in the fifties and sixties. Possibly the most important of Bowles' musical cotributions in the late 1950s is his ethnographic research into and recording of Morrocan music. In the 1970s and 1980s his writing was limited to several short stories, collected in

www.PaulBowles.org The Authorized Paul Bowles Web Site PAUL BOWLES: A BIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY by Allen Hibbard Paul Bowles, Tangier, Morocco, Medina, 1987 An inveterate traveler, composer and writer, Paul Bowles was a truly remarkable figure whose life and work embodied and responded to major impulses of the twentieth century. His life would be of considerable interest even had he not produced numerous musical scores, four novels, more than sixty short stories, many travel pieces, an unrevealing autobiography and dozens of translations of stories by Moroccan storytellers. His autobiography, Without Stopping Paul Bowles' island, Taprobane, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), 1953 Setting the Tone , the composer Ned Rorem (who first met Bowles in Mexico in the forties) contrasts Bowles’ literary and musical styles, observing that while Bowles’s fiction is "dark and cruel, clearly meant to horrify in an impersonal sort of way," his music is "nostalgic and witty, evoking the times and places of its conception." An only child, Paul Frederic Bowles was born in New York, in Jamaica, Queens, on December 30, 1910, to Rena and Claude Bowles. Bowles fondly remembers his mother reading Poe to him in his early years, while he chiefly remembered his father, a dentist, as a strict disciplinarian. In his autobiography, Bowles recounts hearing his grandmother tell him that his father had tried to kill him when he was a baby, by leaving him virtually naked in a basket by an open window in the dead of winter. True or not, these impressions and feelings certainly had a profound effect on the artist as a young man and can be felt on occasion in his writing.

Yet John Ashbery said of her: "It is to be hoped that she will be recognized for what she is: one of the finest modern writers of fiction in any language." Tennessee Williams called her the most underrated writer of fiction in American literature. During her lifetime and since her death in 1973, she has been considered a writer's writer, little known to the general public but with a loyal following of intensely devoted readers. Jane Bowles (center), Tennessee Williams and Lilla Van Saher aboard the S.S. Queen Federica , early 1950s. She was born in New York City on February 22, 1917, the daughter of Sidney Auer and Claire Stajer Auer. Her childhood was spent in Woodmere, Long Island. On her father's death in 1930, Jane and her mother moved back to Manhattan. As an adolescent she developed tuberculosis of the knee. Her mother took her to a sanatorium in Leysin, Switzerland, where she was put in traction for many months. During this time she developed an intense love of literature and an equally intense series of obsessions and fears. Upon her return to New York she began to experiment with writing a novel and with sexual adventures with men and women, though primarily with women.

T-Z Subjects: A-B C-E F-L M-Z Bowles, Paul (1910-1999) Gay American expatriate composer, writer, and translator Paul Bowles liked to examine sexuality from a dispassionate perspective for its psychological suggestiveness. Bowles was born in New York on December 30, 1910. His father was a dentist who exhibited little warmth for his son; an inflexible man, he evoked responses of passive resistance and secrecy, characteristics that would mark Paul's life and writing. As a boy, Bowles had few friends and took refuge in fantasy writing. He matriculated at the University of Virginia, but academic life did not interest him, and he left for Paris abruptly in 1929. Although he soon returned to New York, from 1931 onward he would spend most of his life outside the United States. Sponsor Message. Bowles's literary reputation rests on his novels, but until he was thirty-five he showed more interest in musical composition and poetry. Aaron Copland was a mentor, and in France, he intrigued Gertrude Stein, though she thought he was no poet. But Bowles was gifted in a number of fields, and increasingly he spread his skills over several: music for plays and films, short stories, autobiography, travel writing, and translations. In childhood, Bowles was fond of a homosexual uncle. During one stay-over with him, he happened to enter a room where men were dancing intimately together. His uncle's anger at his nephew hurt Bowles, who had not been alarmed at this sight, and the incident suggests Bowles's attitude to different sexual behavior: He liked to examine sexuality from a dispassionate perspective for its psychological suggestiveness. Such is the case in his most explicitly homosexual story, "Pages from Cold Point" (1947), in which a boy tries to seduce his father.

November 19, 1999 Writer Paul Bowles Dies at 88 By MEL GUSSOW aul Bowles, the novelist, composer, poet and quintessential outsider of American literature, died of a heart attack Thursday in a hospital in Tangier, Morocco. He was 88, and throughout his life, he remained an artist whose name evoked an atmosphere of dark, lonely Moroccan streets and endless scorching deserts, a haze of hashish and drug-induced visions. Bowles was taken to the hospital on Nov. 7 from his home in Tangier, where he had lived since 1947. Reuters U.S. novelist and composer Paul Bowles, best known for his novel "The Sheltering Sky," is seen on his bed in September 1993 in Tangier. He was most famous for his stories and his novels, especially "The Sheltering Sky." He was also known for his songs, concertos, incidental music and operas; for his marriage to Jane Bowles a novelist and playwright who died in 1973, and, simply, for being Paul Bowles. He became an icon of individualism. Although he remained elusive to his biographers as well as his critics, his life as an expatriate was as fascinating as his own experiments in art. One of the last of his cultural generation, what might be called the post-Lost Generation, he knew and occasionally collaborated with many of the major artistic figures of his time, among them Orson Welles, Tennessee Williams and Gertrude Stein. He put a stamp of sui generis on whatever he chose to do, or not to do. In many ways, his career was one of avoidance.
