About this listen

The definitive Paul Bowles reader—a summing up of a brilliant and diverse literary career, featuring an introduction by Joyce Carol Oates.

"Bowles is one of the most important writers of our times." –Madison Smartt Bell, Chicago Tribune

Too Far From Home brings together a dozen of Paul Bowles' best stories; excerpts from three novels, Let It Come Down, The Spider's House, and Up Above the World; excerpts from nonfiction works like Points in Time, Their Heads are Green and Their Hands are Blue, Days, and Without Stopping; the entire text of the novel The Sheltering Sky; as well as a group of poems, a selection of previously unpublished letters, and an interview conducted by Daniel Halpern.

A striking collection from one of the most revered authors of the twentieth century, Too Far From Home is the perfect introduction to the work of Paul Bowles.
