About Paul Bowles
Paul Bowles' literary career, as the author of The Sheltering Sky and as inspiration for writers like William Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg, has largely overshadowed his earlier career as a composer. But he was a skilled composer and an ardent ethnomusicologist who wrote music, especially songs, until his death in 1999.
