2•15•10 ★ Jane Bowles and Paul Bowles Paul Bowles received a contract for a novel from Doubleday and moved permanently to Tangier, where Jane Bowles joined him in 1948. Bowles commented "I was a composer for as long as I've been a writer. I came here because I wanted to write a novel. I had a commission to do it. I was sick of writing music for other people - Joseph Losey, Orson Welles, a whole lot of other people, endless." Bowles traveled alone into the Algerian Sahara to work on the novel. Bowles commented: "I wrote in bed in hotels in the desert" The Sheltering Sky - the title came from a song, "Down Among the Sheltering Palms", which Bowles had heard every summer as a child. “That genius imp, that laughing, hilarious, tortured elf” was how Truman Capote described the writer Jane Bowles, who, with her composer-writer husband Paul Bowles, became the center of an avant-garde circle in Morocco. Her darkly comic, original work was admired by writers such as Capote, Tennessee Williams, John Ashbery, and Alice B. Toklas. ★ Laurie Anderson ★ John Updike ★ Ray Abeyta Ray and I were roomates years ago.

Then Dr. Bluespire leaned over his shoulder and whispered into his ear: "You look like a god sitting there. Why don't you try writing something? ★ Michael Snow When I watched this I ran the gamut of emotions. From confusion to anger and ultimately to a fine, silent peace.  The Sound Of Art •  Throbbing Gristle •  Suicide •  Sonic Youth
