Born in New York in 1910, Paul Bowles came to Europe to study music with Aaron Copland. In 1938 he married Jane Auer, who was to achieve literary recognition under her married name of Jane Bowles. After the war they went to Morocco and settled in Tangiers. He is the author of the acclaimed novel The Sheltering Sky which has since become a modern classic and which was filmed by Bernardo Bertolucci. His other books include Let It Come Down, Call at Corazon, Points in Time and The Spider's House.
