Biographical Sketch
Paul Frederic Bowles, born December 30, 1910, in New York City, was the only child of
Claude Dietz and Rena Winnewisser Bowles. Bowles began writing short stories and composing
music as a child, and he was only a teenager when his surrealist poetry was published in the
magazine
Transition. Bowles briefly attended the University
of Virginia but dropped out in 1929 and moved to Paris where he met and became friends with
Gertrude Stein. This began over forty years of nearly constant traveling for Bowles, who
once said of himself that he was addicted to movement. He returned to the University of
Virginia in the spring of 1930, but left again after one semester to study music, first
under Aaron Copland in Berlin (1930-32) and then with Virgil Thomson in Paris (1933-34).
During these years he also made his first visit, at Stein's suggestion, to Tangier, Morocco.
In 1937, Bowles met author and playwright Jane Auer; they were married the following year.
The Bowleses eventually settled in Tangier, although both traveled often throughout North
Africa, Europe, Latin America, and the United States. At one point Paul even owned
Taprobane, an island off the coast of Sri Lanka.
Paul Bowles became a celebrated composer during the 1940s, providing the musical scores for
such noted plays as
My Heart's in the Highlands (1940), South Pacific (1943), and The Glass Menagerie (1945). He also composed a number of scores for
ballets, including Yankee Clipper. At the same time, Bowles wrote
travel books on America, Mexico, France, India, and North Africa. From 1942-45, he worked as
a music critic for the New York Herald-Tribune. He made translations from
French and Spanish for View, and his translation of Jean-Paul Sartre's
Huis Clos was published as No Exit in 1946. After reading his wife's Two Serious Ladies (1943), Bowles was inspired to write fiction. He
contributed short stories to Harper's Bazaar, View, Mademoiselle, and Partisan Review. Bowles's first novel, The Sheltering Sky (1949), was a best-seller, and it remains his
most critically acclaimed work. Over the next decade, Bowles wrote three more novels and
developed a reputation as an existential novelist.
In 1956, he began translating Moroccan literature. In the 1960s and 1970s, Bowles primarily
translated Moghrebi novels, short stories, and folk tales in collaboration with Mohammed
Mrabet. He also returned to writing poetry. In 1970, he founded the literary magazine
Antaeus with Daniel Halpern.
Jane Bowles's mental and physical health deteriorated after she suffered a stroke in 1957,
and she spent the final years of her life in a hospital in Spain before dying in 1973.
During those years, Paul Bowles ceased to write fiction. In the years since his wife's
death, Paul Bowles has remained in Morocco; he received two NEH fellowships and began
writing fiction and composing again. Bowles died in Tangier on November 19, 1999. More
information about Paul Bowles may be found in his autobiography
Without Stopping (Putnam, 1972).
Scope and Contents
Handwritten and typed drafts of short stories, essays, and novels, correspondence, and
musical compositions make up the bulk of the Paul Bowles Collection, 1897-1995. The
collection is organized into four series: Series I. Works, 1923-1976 (6 document cases and 5
oversize boxes); Series II. Correspondence, 1897-1995 (3 boxes); Series III. Personal
Papers, 1942-1958 (1 box); and Series IV. Works by other Authors, 1935-1991 (1 box). This
collection was previously accessible through a card catalog, but has been re-cataloged as
part of a retrospective conversion project.
The Works Series is divided into literary and musical works. Among the literary works are a
number of notebooks with drafts of numerous short stories and essays in them, as well as
three typescripts of
The Sheltering Sky, and several fables and stories
translated by Bowles, including A Hundred Camels in the
Courtyard,M'hashish, and The Hyena. Musical materials include several sonatas for various
instruments, Congo, the Picnic Cantata, and music written to accompany works by Jane Bowles
and Tennessee Williams. Both the translation of Federico Lorca's Yerma which Bowles adapted as the libretto for an opera, and the
musical score for this opera are also present. All works are listed by title in the Index of
Literary Works and Index of Musical Works at the end of this finding aid.
The Correspondence Series, made up of mostly personal communications, is organized into
three subseries: Subseries A. Outgoing Correspondence, 1931-1995; Subseries B. Incoming
Correspondence, 1928-1969; and Subseries C. Third-party Correspondence, 1897-1967. Outgoing
correspondence includes letters from Bowles to family, friends, and acquaintances, Jane
Bowles, James Purdy, Tennessee Williams, and others. Incoming Correspondence includes
letters from Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Allen Ginsberg, Brion Gysin, Alan Sillitoe, Virgil
Thomson, as well as others. Third-party correspondence is made up of letters between people
associated with Bowles, and generally regarding him or his work. Also included in this
subseries is a letter, dated 1897, to Edward Green from his Petersham, Massachusetts parish,
accepting his resignation. All correspondents are listed in the Index of Correspondence at
the end of this finding aid.
The small Personal Papers series contains financial papers, including bank statements,
cancelled checks, and income tax returns, a few legal documents, including identity papers
and memoranda of agreement, as well as assorted notes and lists.
The Works by other Authors Series contains holograph and typescript manuscripts by Andreas
Brown, Oliver Evans, Charles Henri Ford, as well as other friends and acquaintances of
Bowles. All authors and titles are listed in the Index of Works by other Authors at the end
of this finding aid.
Elsewhere in the Ransom Center are a number of books and music scores from Paul Bowles
personal library, recordings of Bowles's music, and ten Vertical Files of printed works by
Bowles containing critical commentary of Bowles's literary and musical work, newspaper
clippings, theatre programs, book jackets, and other items associated with Bowles's work and
career. The Literary Files of the Photography Collection hold over 500 photographs of and by
Bowles, his family, friends, and landscape images. Of particular note is the rediscovered
music for the
Glass Menagerie, located in the Audrey Wood
Collection.
