"The short fiction of American literary cult figure Paul Bowles is marked by a unique, delicately spare style, and a dark, rich, exotic mood, by turns chilling, ironic, and wry--possessing a symmetry between beauty and terror that is haunting and ultimately moral. In \"Pastor Dowe at Tecate,\" a Protestant missionary is sent to a faraway place where his God has no power. In \"Call at Corazon,\" an American husband abandons his alcoholic wife on their honeymoon in a South American jungle. In \"Allal,\" a boy's drug-induced metamorphosis into a deadly serpent leads to his violent death. Here also are some of Bowles's most famous works, including \"The Delicate Prey,\" a grimly satisfying tale of vengeance, and \"A Distant Episode,\" which Tennessee Williams proclaimed \"a masterpiece.\"" . .
