The dream at the end of the world : Paul Bowles and the literary renegades in Tangier
In The dream at the end of the world, her splendid account of palmy days in Tangier, the last great paradise of our century, Michelle Green presents a richly detailed portrait of one of the most extraordinary groups of individuals ever to have congregated in a single location. Writers and heiresses, drug addicts and pederasts, artists and con men--all were lured by a raffish city that promised a full range of pleasures. At the center of the extravagant community were Paul and Jane Bowles, the most seductive couple of their age. For Paul, a critically acclaimed writer and composer, Morocco was a perfect setting for his perverse, visionary fiction; for Jane, a brilliant playwright plagued by anxiety and terrified of her own talent, it was as sinister as it was tantalizing ... few chronicles have offered such an alchemical blend of primitivism and sophistication, and few chronicles have captured a period and a sensibility as memorable as The dream at the end of the world. --From the book cover.
