From his base in Tangier he produced globally ranging novels, stories, & travel writing. This LOA Bowles set, the first annotated edition, offers the full range of his achievement: the portrait of an outsider who was one of the essential American writers of the last century. In addition to his novels --"The Sheltering Sky" (1949), "Let It Come Down" (1952), "The Spider's House" (1955), "Up Above the World" (1966)-- & his collected stories --including such classics as "A Distant Episode" and "Pages from Cold Point" -- they contain his masterpiece of travel writing, "Their Heads Are Green and Their Hands Are Blue" (1963). Throughout, Bowles shows himself a master of gothic terror & a diabolically funny observer of manners as well as a prescient guide to everything from the roots of Islamist politics to the world of Moghrebi music. W/ a hallucinatory clarity as dry & unforgiving as the desert air, Bowles sends his characters toward encounters w/ unknown & terrifying forces both outside them & within them. * The LIBRARY of AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts.
