Let It Come Down: A Novel

"In Let It Come Down, Paul Bowles plots the doomed trajectory of Nelson Dyar, a New York bank teller who comes to Tangier in search of a different life and ends up giving in to his darkest impulses. Rich in descriptions of the corruption and decadence of the International Zone in the last days before Moroccan independence, Bowles's second novel is an alternately comic and horrific account of a descent into nihilism."

Their Heads Are Green and Their Hands Are Blue

"An engaging collection of travel essays by the author of The Sheltering Sky Their Heads are Green, Their Hands are Blue deals largely with places in the world that few Westerners have ever heard of, much less seen—places as yet unencumbered by the trappings, luxuries, and corruptions of modern civilization. Bowles is a sympathetic and discerning observer of these alien cultures, and his eyes and ears are especially alert both to what is bizarre and what is wise in the civilizations in which he settles. Above all, Bowles is a superb and observant traveler—a born wanderer who finds pleasure in the inaccessible and who cheerfully endures the concomitant hardships with resourcefulness, insight, and humor."

In Touch: The Letters of Paul Bowles

"This extraordinary collection of correspondence by Paul Bowles spans eight decades and provides an evolving portrait of an artist renowned for his privacy. From his earliest extant letter, written at the age of four, to his precocious effusions to Aaron Copeland and to Gertrude Stein; from his meditations on mescaline as relayed to Ned Rorem, to his intensely moving letters to Jane Bowles during her illness, In Touch fills in the lacunae left by previous biographers and offers a rare look at the many aspects of Bowles's brilliant career—as composer, novelist, short-story master, travel writer, translator, ethnographer, and literary critic. Here is Bowles on the genesis of his first novel, The Sheltering Sky; on his distaste for Western melodies and his dogged attempts to record indigenous Moroccan music; on the Beats, Gore Vidal, Truman Capote, and Tennessee Williams; on the nature and craft of writing; on Bernardo Bertolucci, David Byrne, and Sting; on the decline of American and the challenges of living in North Africa. Gossipy, reflective, enlightening, and always entertaining, In Touch stands as an epistolary autobiography of one of the legendary writers of our time, and a unique chronicle of the twentieth-century avant-garde. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook."

[German] - Die Geschichte vom Löwen, der nicht schreiben konnte: Ein musikalisches Hörspiel

"Der Löwe kann nicht schreiben, aber das stört ihn nicht, denn er kann brüllen und Zähne zeigen und mehr braucht er nicht. Eines Tages aber trifft der Löwe eine Löwin und die ist sehr schön. Und sie liest in einem Buch. Die kann man nicht einfach gleich küssen. Eine solche Dame erwartet zuerst einen Liebesbrief. Also bittet der Löwe den Affen, für ihn zu schreiben. Der nimmt Bleistift und Papier und bietet der Löwin an, mit ihm auf Bäume zu klettern und Bananen zu essen. Völliger Unsinn! Irritiert wendet sich der Löwe ans Nilpferd. Dieses fragt die Löwin, ob sie mit ihm im Fluss schwimmen und nach Algen tauchen will… Was der Mistkäfer, der Geier, die Giraffe und das Krokodil der Löwin schreiben, lässt den Löwen vor Wut fast platzen. Da naht Rettung. Die schöne Löwin nämlich hört sein Gebrüll."
