A look at the expat literary community in Morocco centered on Paul Bowles. Featured prominently are Paul and Jane Bowles, William Burroughs, Allan Ginsburg, Truman Capote, and many others. Fine in a fine jacket, this is a first printing. Laid in is the NYT review of this title, and a newspaper piece on Alfred Chester, a novelist living in Tangier who had a breakdown and believed Paul Bowles was attempting to kill him.
