Synopsis:
A portrait of an American writer whose work was undervalued in her lifetime highlights her youth, marriage to composer Paul Bowles, sensuality, bohemian lifestyle, and profound concern with sin and salvation
Review: "A thorough biography of Jane Bowles, a book that never cheaply psychoanalyzes its subject but rather presents the woman and her work with sensitivity and admiration. . . . Grim as [Jane Bowles's] personal story may be, the luminous pages she left behind comprise some of the best American fiction we have. She is far more genuine and original than many other more celebrated writers. Among American women writers she must rank in the small, select company of Flannery O'Connor, Eudora Welty, Willa Cather, and Jean Stafford."--Edmund White, "Chicago Tribune
