Conversations with Paul Bowles - Paperback

by Paul Bowles (Author), Gena Dagel Caponi (Editor)

Paul Bowles says: Each man's life has the quality he gives it, but you can't say that life itself has any qualities. If we suffer, it's because we haven't learned how not to. The man who wrote the books didn't exist. No Writer exists. He exists in his books, and that's all. I write unconsciously, without knowing what I am writing.
