Bowles



Paul Bowles: "An inveterate traveler [traveller], composer and writer, Paul Bowles was a truly remarkable figure whose life and work embodied and responded to major impulses of the twentieth century." An interesting life. Protected from right-clicks for some reason?

Diaries of a Nobody

Derek: [1] [2] [3].
The day is cold and gloomy, though dry. I spent the morning repairing one of my temple garments; I also hit the street to renew a book at the library and also buy some oats and peas for the rabbits. While I was in the shop, a man in motor cycle gear asked me if the oats were for rabbits. He spoke curiously. Anyway, he then ordered two pounds of mixed molasses. I asked him if they were for a lion. The girl serving us broke into laughter; he did not.
[Elucidation] Most endearing.
