An Invisible Spectator: Biography of Paul Bowles by Christopher Sawyer-Laucanno
Peter Bowles, father of the Beat movement, went from being a bestselling novelist to becoming a mysterious cult figure, influential amongst the American expatriate community in Tangier. This biography, the author's first book, is based on interviews with Bowles and those who have known him best. It reveals more than Bowles' autobiography, Without Stopping, exploring his childhood, marriage and self-imposed exile from America.
