| Biography: (1910-1999) Novelist, writer, poet, composer, writer. Paul Frederic Bowles was born in Queens, New York. He published at 17, and abandoned college. In 1929, he began his life of travels with a trip to Paris, where he hoped to establish himself as a real poet. Gertrude Stein told him he wasn't a real poet, he agreed with her, and turned his studies to music. In 1947, he moved to Tangier, Morocco. His fiction often traces the psychic disintegration of civilized men when faced with a primitive environment. He spent childhood summers in Glenora, New York on the shore of Seneca Lake.
