About This Item
New York: Published by Harper Collins, 1991. First Edition. Royal 8vo. pp. xvi + 381, notes, sources,index.illustrated with black & white photographs. Original hardcover in original illustrated dustwrapper. Fine. Paul Bowles settled in Tangier, a wellspring for his fiction. For wife Jane, the Moroccan mecca was a place to explore forbidden impulses. She embarked on a lesbian affair with a Berber grain-seller, while Paul also took same-sex lovers. Arriving in 1954, William Burroughs lived in a male brothel and tried to kick his drug habit. In 1957 Burroughs lured his loyal literary supporters, Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, to join his "mad salon," as did painter Francis Bacon. Through the 1960s and early '70s, this haven for expatriates exerted its pull. Truman Capote, Tennessee Williams, Susan Sontag and Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton were among the city's visitors and residents.
