Senza mai fermarsi. Un'autobiografia

Paul Bowles nasce figlio unico di una coppia appassionata di musica e buone letture. Fin da bambino il protagonista manifesta le proprie passioni: scrive giornalini, diari di personaggi immaginari, progetta e descrive grandi, fantastici viaggi inventati. Da studente si dedica all'apprendistato della musica, alla pittura, alla poesia, finché approda all'Università di Charlottesville, dove aveva studiato Poe. Gli incontri di questi anni, da Eliot a Cole Porter (ma anche l'acquisto del primo grammofono), risulteranno determinanti per la sua formazione intellettuale. Nel 1931 parte, senza un dollaro in tasca, per l'Europa. Rimane per un periodo a Parigi, ma si muove anche verso la Svizzera, il Belgio, la Germania... Una biografia punteggiata da personaggi noti quali Gertrude Stein, Truman Capote, Allen Ginsberg, André Gide, W.H. Auden.

Notes on Thought and Vision

"Notes is filled with dualisms that seem to split experience at all levels: body and spirit, womb and head, feeling and thought, the unconscious and ego consciousness, female and male, nature and divinity, classical and Christian, Greek and Hebrew, Greek and Egyptian, Sphinx and Centaur, Pan and Helios, Naiads and Athene, thistle and serpent. But the impulse behind Notes is to account for those mysterious moments in which the polarities seemed to fall away, or—more accurately—to find their contradictions lifted and subsumed into a gestalt that illuminated the cross-patch of the past and released her to the chances of the future."—Albert Gelpi, Introduction "H. D.'s Notes on Thought and Vision [is] such a unique, inspiring, exploration of her notion of the creative process, orchestrated through an array of fully female, not feminine, not feminist, female figures."—Paul Kameen, University of Pittsburgh, English Department

Paul Bowles on Music

Though known chiefly as a writer of novels and stories, Paul Bowles (1910-99) thought of himself first and foremost as a composer. This book collects the music criticism that Bowles published between 1935 and 1946 as well as an interview conducted by Irene Herrmann shortly before his death.
