An Invisible Spectator: A Biography of Paul Bowles di Christopher Sawyer-Lauçanno
A chronicle of the life of Paul Bowles, this tome includes the music, the marriage, the exile and more. With depictions of Bowles' intimate friends including Capote, Ginsberg, and others, this narrative captures the milieu that ensconced him - a world that I found both intriguing and fascinating.
Makes one appreciate the fact that Bowles was not only a gifted writer/translator, but also a brilliant composer. Provides a lot of detail about his relationship with his wife (Jane) and the beat poets. Bowles was visited by Ginsberg, Burroughs, Tennessee Williams, and Gore Vidal (among others), and can be credited with the fact that many became interested in Morocco as a result of his writing.
Barslechte biografie van Paul Bowles. nu wordt me duidelijk wat het verschil is tussen een goede en een slechte: S.L. doet nauwelijks moeite om zich in te leven, laat staan dat hij erin zou slagen ons enig inzicht bij te brengen. Hij vertelt zonder te interpreteren. Dat maakt dat hij keert met de wind. Over de relatie tussen Jane en Paul doet hij de meest tegenstrijdige uitspraken. Hun huwelijk is al mislukt nog voor het begonnen is, hoewel ze toch levenslang bij elkaar blijven en - vooral - voor elkaar zorgen. S.L. schept mysteries in plaats van helderheid. Milliscent Dillon kan het heel wat beter.… (altro)
Fascinating man - and there's a moment in here that's expecially beautiful if you've read Swann's Way.
