In his work, Blood Orange, Canadian author Miles Lowry explores the life of Paul Bowles in a snapshot album of poems and images drawn from years of wandering in Bowles' fiction and biographical remnants. Bowles rose to international prominence with the publication of his novel, The Sheltering Sky in 1950, becoming one of the 20th centuries most gifted and misunderstood literary figures. Choosing Tangier, Morocco as his home, Bowles became a celebrated expatriate whose home was the meeting place of the authors of the Beat Generation and a host of literary renegades. Lowry's imagining reveals as much as it conceals as it weaves through the life of a remarkable man in a country that would become the unique backdrop for his fiction.
