Tangier was a magnet for artists, writers, musicians, and political exiles throughout the mid-20th century, amongst them the writers Paul Bowles and William Burroughs From 1924 to 1956 the city operated as an international zone under the joint administration of several European powers. This status created an environment of legal ambiguity, which, combined with the city's strategic location at the crossroads of Africa and Europe, made it a haven for those seeking escape from the constraints of conventional society The zone had a sense of lawlessness and freedom, attracting a diverse mix of expatriates, spies, smugglers, and avant-garde intellectuals. The city's permissive attitude towards drugs, homosexuality,and radical political thought made it a particularly alluring destination for members of the counterculture. Composer and writer Paul Bowles, settled there and drew members of the Beat Generation to the city to be inspired, to complete their projects and to live the Moroccan dream. Few lived in human dialogue with the locals, operating rather as economically priveleged colonial bohemians William Burroughs' time in Tangier in the 1950s deeply influenced his novel Naked Lunch. Burroughs saw the city as a place where the constraints of Western morality could be discarded in favor of a more experimental and uninhibited lifestyle. He christened it THE INTERZONE Although the Tnagier International Zone officially ceased to exist in 1956, its mythos lived on in literature, music, and the enduring image of Tangier as a place where the world's outsiders could find a home Multimedia artist and curator Abdelaziz Taleb, director of The Arab Media Lab Project has taken a deep dive into the Interzone - both its reality and its myth, exploring the blurred line between the two. He came to the Bureau to talk about it, the often untold influence of Moroccans on the Beats, and the mystery of Tangier.

Come explore existential despair, the hell of isolation, and the mad dash into oblivion with Nathan and David. On this episode, your hosts have an in-depth discussion on Paul Bowles' 1949 novel The Sheltering Sky - a novel of stark prose and philosophical depth that follows Port and Kit Moresby, an American couple traveling in post-WWII North Africa. Nathan and David delve into the themes of finiteness, the pursuit of oblivion, selfishness, and the differences between a tourist and a traveler, all set against the sublime and terrifying beauty of the Sahara desert. Listen along and tell us what you think of Bowles' masterpiece and its dark, captivating narrative.

Welcome To Hotel BohemiaEccentric. Rebellious. Amoral, quite often. But bohemianism was, maybe still is, about much more than just frightening the horses.The writer Virginia Nicholson recently told the Today programme that "in a sense, we are all bohemians today".But what is a bohemian, how do you spot one, and might you be a boho, too?"Bohemian" was originally a term with pejorative undertones given to Roma gypsies, commonly believed by the French to have originated in Bohemia, in central Europe.The Oxford English Dictionary's definition mentions someone "especially an artist, literary man, or actor, who leads a free, vagabond, or irregular life, not being particular as to the society he frequents, and despising conventionalities generally".But the connotation rapidly became a romantic one. From its birth in Paris in the 1850s, and the huge success of Murgier's play Scenes de la vie de Boheme, the ethic spread rapidly.Gypsy clothes became all the fashion, sparking a style which lives on today through lovers of boho-chic like Sienna Miller and Kate Moss. And artists and poets from Baudelaire to van Gogh characterised bohemian ideals.Its foundations in the Romantic movement of the 19th Century imbued bohemians with an almost quasi-religious sense of purpose.In Puccini's opera La Boheme, the poet Rodolfo and his friends do not shiver in their Parisian garret where Mimi's hand is famously frozen merely because of their poverty. Theirs, as Rodolfo has it, is a higher, if more sensual, calling.I am a poet!What's my employment? Writing.Is that a living? Hardly.I've wit though wealth be wanting,Ladies of rank and fashionAll inspire me with passion;In dreams and fond illusions,Or castles in the air,Richer is none on earth than I.Although steeped in its French roots, the bohemian ideal transferred easily to many countries and cultures.In Britain, the pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the aesthetic movement of the 19th Century imbued bohemianism with a dangerous, dashing, social cachet. Later, the exploits of the Bloomsbury group - one of whom was Nicholson's grandmother, Vanessa Bell - thrust it into the cultural limelight.Across the Atlantic, poets and writers like Jack Kerouac, William S Burroughs and Paul Bowles led their own offshoot. And the playwright Arthur Miller's prose conjures the musty essence of that temple of American bohemia, Manhattan's Chelsea Hotel, where "there are no vacuum cleaners, no rules and shame"."Everyone has a view of what the bohemian is," says Nicholson. "The bohemian is an outsider, defines themselves as an outsider and is defined by the world as an outsider... A lot of people regard them as subversive, elitist and possibly just a little bit immature."Bohemians were typically urban, liberal in outlook, but with few visible political passions and, above all, creative. Though critical of organised religion, they were keen - witness the pre-Raphaelites and Oscar Wilde - to defend and explore the religious spirit.Above all, they defied the constrictions of hearth and home and the false morality which they believed underpinned it.In essence, bohemianism represented a personal, cultural and social reaction to the bourgeois life. And, once the latter was all but swept away by the maelstrom that was the 1960s, the former was doomed, too.UNTIL NOW!!!!&a

“A willingness to fail is an important part of difficult beauty. Because difficult beauty will arrive first not as beauty at all.” –Chloe Cooper Jones In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and Chloe discuss the philosophical concept of "easy beauty" and "difficult beauty" in the context of travel (2:30); how our relationship to places changes over time with repeated exposure (15:00); how art and travel, home and adventure, became important aspects of Chloe's life (23:00); how the archetype of the "Hero's Journey" evokes aspects of home as well as travel (35:30); Chloe's investigation and experience of "dark tourism" in Cambodia, and how it gave her perspective on how other people view her disability (45:15) and how there's no easy way to navigate the polarities of the self, but trying to do so can result in a hard-won experience of beauty (1:08:00). Chloe Cooper Jones (@CCooperJones) is the author of Easy Beauty: A Memoir. She has been a Pulitzer Prize finalist in Feature Writing, and was the recipient of a Whiting Creative Nonfiction Grant, as well as a Howard Foundation Grant from Brown University.

Dear ones, I present to you today the extraordinarily versatile bass-baritone and my fellow native Milwaukeean Donald Gramm (1927-1983), one of the central house singers at both the Metropolitan Opera and New York City Opera from the 1960s through his premature death at the age of 56. Gifted with an intrinsically beautiful voice, an impeccable technique and an expansive range, he also was a crackerjack musician whose repertoire easily encompassed musical styles from florid Baroque music through the thorniest contemporary idioms. He is probably best celebrated these days for his commitment to American art, and this episode features him singing songs by Ned Rorem, John Duke, Richard Cummings, Douglas Moore, and Paul Bowles, with a particular emphasis on texts by Walt Whitman. What is perhaps less well-remembered today is how versatile an opera singer he was, singing roles from Osmin to Scarpia, with a strong emphasis on both bel canto and buffo roles by Rossini and Donizetti. The episode also explores his collaborations with Igor Stravinsky, Glenn Gould, and, perhaps most significantly, Sarah Caldwell, another important musical figure from that era who is strongly deserving of reappraisal. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Scherenschnitte sind nicht nur Kinderkram oder reines Kunsthandwerk. Anne Rosat stellt ihre Kunstwerke aus Papier längst auch in Paris und New York aus. Und: Mit einer reich ausgestatteten Edition seines Theaterstücks «The Garden» ist der Schriftsteller und Komponist Paul Bowles neu zu entdecken. 1969 fertigt Anne Rosat ihren ersten Scherenschnitt an, inspiriert von Werken der bekannten Künstler Johann Jakob Hauswirth und Louis Saugy. Gedacht als Geschenk für ihren Mann, katapultieren sie ihre ersten Scherenschnitte in eine unerwartete Karriere. Längst stellt Anne Rosat in Paris und New York aus. Sein stoischer Existentialismus zog Generationen von Sinnsuchenden an. Selber war der Exilamerikaner Paul Bowles (1910-1999) ein Leben lang unterwegs. In Marokko schrieb er 1967 das Theaterstück «The Garden», das jetzt erstmals auf Deutsch erschienen ist.

This is another eclectic mix from beats to minimal to beats and back to minimal. The opening soundtrack is from the movie The Sheltering Sky including a clip from the movie where Paul Bowles enlightens us with his moral of the story. I have included another clip of Paul telling a short story. Although this story is religious in theme, I do not agree with or promote religion, however it is actually more about judgment of others than religion. One favorite artist of mine is BT, not BTS but simply BT. I saw him perform live once at the Fillmore, I believe it was New Years Eve, perhaps 1999 or 2000. Hooverphonic opened for him and they were okay, but he was a Rockstar. He had his synth on a spring which he moved and threw around. If you have listened to my episodes much, you have heard BT, He may be the most played right after Chicane. There are two tracks from his newer albums for your consideration in this episode. They are the meditative minimal tracks. Later, after the hour mark is a collaboration called Axiom with two tracks from a double CD called Lost in Translation which is also quiet and minimal produced by Bill Laswell. This recording also features Bootsy Collins somehow. Who is another Rockstar. BTW: are we yet realizing just how far Bjork was ahead of our time? Amazing how her and Nellie Hooper were so bizarre 20 years ago and now other artists are sounding the same. Remember when I used to talk? If you might enjoy a podcast where I only talk nonsense, read stories or product labels, let me know. Sometimes I lie on bed and wish I had a voice to talk me to sleep, a relaxing voice because there is one out there that's quite annoying, and if you think that's a good idea, let me know... I will do my best. Also, if you have a favorite soundtrack, email me and I'll play it. hello@andonia.com or check queertaylor.com.
Författaren Paul Bowles är en av mina absoluta favoritförfattare. Hans magiska realism, skildringar av grymhet, fasa och öknens skönhet gör honom unik i litteraturhistorien. Vän med Burroughs, Ginsberg och Kerouac kallades han ofta för den första beat:en, någon han aldrig gillade. Hans mest kända roman The sheltering sky filmatiserades av Bernardo Bertolucci. Florian Vetsch som arbetat med Bowles berättar.

Töten. Ohne mit der Wimper zu zucken. Lieben. Und sich nach Gegenliebe sehnen. Als Spross einer erfolgreichen britischen Scharfrichter-Dynastie hat der begabte und früh berufene Henker Rupert Beaufort jahrzehntelang sein Gewissen unter Kontrolle, seine Emotionen im Griff und die öffentliche Meinung auf seiner Seite. Hunderte von tadellos ausgeführten Exekutionen gehen auf sein Konto. Doch nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges muss er sich neuen, unerwarteten Herausforderungen stellen und immer größere Hürden überwinden, um seines makabren Amtes zu walten. Auf dem Höhepunkt seiner Laufbahn sieht er sich gezwungen, den italienischen Pianisten Sandro Magazzano, ein ehemaliges Wunderkind, hinzurichten: einen ebenfalls hochtalentierten Mann, der wie er bis zum Äußersten zu gehen bereit ist. Jens Rosteck zeigt in seinem fesselnden Romandebüt, wie herrschende Moral und individuelle Gefühle zwei ungleiche Einzelkämpfer und Vorbilder in kaum lösbare Konflikte stürzen. Und wie problematisch Verkündung wie Vollstreckung der Todesstrafe zu allen Zeiten gewesen sind, wenn, wie hier, im England der Fünfzigerjahre, geltendes Recht mit Menschenwürde und dem ewigen Anspruch auf Zuneigung und Gerechtigkeit kollidiert. Jens Rosteck, 1962 geboren, lebte viele Jahre in Paris und an der Côte d'Azur, wo er neben Essays zur Musik- und Literaturgeschichte eine Reihe von literarischen Biografien verfasste, u. a. über Paul Bowles, Kurt Weill, Oscar Wilde und Bob Dylan. Zuletzt publizierte er viel beachtete Monografien über Hans Werner Henze und Édith Piaf. Der promovierte Musikwissenschaftler, Kulturgeschichtler, Pianist und Autor mehrerer Städteporträts wohnt heute im Badischen.
In den späten 1930er-Jahren gewährte ein neuer Highway an der Küste Kaliforniens erstmals einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit Zutritt zu einem einsamen Landstrich voller überwältigender Naturwunder: Big Sur. Angezogen von der Aura dieses schroffen, windumtosten Küstenstreifens, versuchten sich in der Folge namhafte Künstler wie Henry Miller, Joan Baez oder Jack Kerouac an einem Dasein in der Einsamkeit und erprobten einen Lebensstil, der heute kaum noch Aufsehen erregt, seinerzeit aber Wagemut und Pioniergeist erforderte: das Aufgehen im Naturerlebnis, Kontemplation und Konzentration aufs Wesentliche. In seinem facettenreichen Porträt dieser mythischen Landschaft zeigt Jens Rosteck, wie Big Sur das Schaffen mehrerer Künstlergenerationen in einer Weise prägte, die bis heute Widerhall nicht nur in der amerikanischen Kultur erzeugt.

En Hipopótamos hemos recorrido muchas historias. Hemos vagado por muchos desiertos durante estas dos temporadas. Pero lo que tenemos claro, es que siempre nos detendremos en los oasis (incluso si a veces los confundimos con espejismos) que el arte, el cine, la literatura y la música nos brinda. Centrándonos en desiertos, literales y metafóricos, arrancamos poniendo banda sonora a una novela gráfica como El estado eléctrico, centrándonos en ese afán por huir del desierto, y en cómo el desierto va ganándonos terreno, consumiendo todo cuanto encuentra a su paso. En esa lucha por evitarlo nos trasladamos a Las Tablas de Daimiel y a la zona sur del desierto del Sahara. El desierto es como un corazón ingrato, y así lo ilustramos con las historias en paralelo de Santa Catalina y de la Difunta Correa, mientras escuchamos a Roberto Murolo. También entramos a vivir en las haimas bereber, en una historia personal en Chefchaouen y en lo que nos cuenta la película Timbuktu, en un relato profundamente humano en medio del desierto. Un terreno tan vasto y árido es capaz de inspirar grandes obras, como el enorme proyecto de James Turrell en Arizona. Pero además, ha visto cómo el cine se ha adueñado de sus paisajes durante décadas, y es así como el Desierto de Tabernas es historia viva de Hollywood, a pesar de estar a diez mil kilómetros de distancia. En otro relato en paralelo, conoceremos más sobre Jane Bowles, sobre una búsqueda para encontrarla en un lugar inesperado, y sobre la película que adaptó la obra de Paul Bowles, El cielo protector, y su constante hora mágica. Ha sido un viaje largo y repleto de emociones, algunas risas, música e historias que de una u otra forma nos han calado hondo. Cerramos esta temporada de Hipopótamos con la satisfacción del que regresa de una larga travesía, o del que encuentra un oasis en medio de un enorme desierto. Las dunas van borrando nuestras huellas, pero en el recuerdo quedan todas las historias que nos han acompañado desde la ciénaga de los Hipopótamos, así es como cogeremos fuerzas y nuevas ideas, porque mañana todo vuelve a empezar.

To round off #BlackHistoryMonth2021, I bring you an array of artists singing a wide range of 20th Century repertoire. Included are singers who have previously been featured in full episodes (including Lawrence Winters, Gloria Davy, Charles Holland, and Carol Brice), legendary favorites (including Leontyne Price, Martina Arroyo, Roberta Alexander, and Barbara Hendricks), important concert singers (including Adele Addison and Betty Allen), lesser-known artists (including Helen Thipgen, Martha Flowers, William Pearson, Mareda Gaither, and Olive Moorefield), and iconic singers (including Jessye Norman, Kathleen Battle, and Christiane Eda-Pierre) for whom important new work was created by Judith Weir, André Previn, and Charles Chaynes. The range of composers represented is equally vast and includes Leonard Bernstein, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Virgil Thomson, Michael Tippett, Lee Hoiby, Shulamit Ran, Gian Carlo Menotti, Judith Weir, Paul Bowles, Lukas Foss, and David Del Tredici. with special attention given to African American composers Margaret Bonds, Howard Swanson, William Grant Still, Hall Johnson, and Robert Nathaniel Dett. In other words: something for everyone and just a foretaste of future Countermelody programs that will continue to celebrate the contributions of African American singers. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel’s lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” Occasional guests from the “business” (singers, conductors, composers, coaches, and teachers) lend their distinctive insights. At Countermelody’s core is the interaction between singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless. Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. (Paul Bowles)
Ari Behn (1972-2019) skrev begeistret om oppturene og nådeløst om nedturene. Han fortalte mye av livet sitt gjennom skjønnlitteraturen. Det var trøblete, og det var fantastisk. Forfatter og journalist Vidar Kvalshaug ga ut sin biografi "Ari - bohemen og bøkene" den 15. oktober 2020. Uka før var vi så heldige å få ham til Bjørneboedagene for å snakke om boka, i en samtale med Tom Stalsberg. Boka handler om det Behn skapte og om hvordan han tok plass i offentligheten og iscenesatte seg selv som forfatter. Her skildres reisene og møtene med litterære forbilder, som beatforfatterne Paul Bowles og Jack Kerouac, og pariser-amerikanerne Ernest Hemingway og F. Scott Fitzgerald. Som Kvalshaug selv uttrykker: «Dette én versjon av Ari Behn. Det finnes mange. Et menneske er ikke bare hva man tror eller klarer å se. Også det lærte Ari Behn oss.»
Have you ever made a mistake? No? We don't believe you! Making mistakes is often dismissed as a bad thing in many cultures, but it's not only unavoidable, but also preferable! On today's show, we're joined by Paul Bowles, Global Talent Acquisition Leader at Nokia, to talk about how he has successfully transformed TA – and made mistakes while doing so!

Viajes, cartas y encuentros. Los escritores Héctor Abad Faciolince y Santiago Gamboa conversarán en Explora sobre el oficio de contar la realidad y presentarán el libro de Gamboa, Ciudades al final de la noche, primera publicación de la Colección Ébano de Angosta Editores, dedicada a la narrativa de no ficción. “Hacer libros es un poco brincar al vacío, caminar de a uno por un callejón rocoso. Hay un riesgo, pero también hay posibilidades luminosas al final de cada tránsito”, así presenta Héctor Abad Angosta Editores, la editorial que fundó con el nombre de una de sus primeras novelas. Santiago Gamboa, escritor bogotano, ha recibido el premio La otra orilla del Grupo Editorial Norma por su libro Necrópolis, finalista del premio Rómulo Gallegos en 2007 con su libro El síndrome de Ulises. Entre sus novelas más recordadas está Perder es cuestión de método, llevada al cine por el director Sergio Cabrera en el año 2005. La publicación del libro Ciudades al final de la noche, bajo el sello de Angosta, inaugura el primer capítulo de la Colección Ébano, de no ficción. “La realidad es un material denso y difícil de trabajar, como la más fina y dura madera negra, que requiere la labor de experimentados artesanos. Un escritor conocido abre la puerta a nuevos autores para que envíen sus obras”. Fragmentos de la introducción. Notas para una conversación de viajes "La raza humana actual, con sus innumerables rasgos diferenciales y regionales, sus múltiples lenguas y tradiciones, proviene de una misma tribu (casi podría escribir manada) que salió a conquistar y a poblar, y por lo tanto viajar para conocer ese mismo mundo treinta mil años después no es otra cosa que seguir la huella de nuestros ancestros, hacer lo que ya en otra época hicimos. Todos comenzamos siendo inmigrantes". "Cada idioma nos bautiza otra vez en tierras lejanas y las comidas y olores nos transforman. Somos alguien distinto porque nuestro nombre tiene un sonido nuevo y el cuerpo se alimenta de otras fuentes nutricias. Todo nos transforma a lo largo de un viaje, pues no somos seres estáticos". "'Una ciudad es un mundo cuando se ama a uno de sus habitantes', dice Lawrence Durrell en El cuarteto de Alejandría. De ahí que las ciudades hayan espoleado más mi curiosidad que las montañas o los ríos. Porque la naturaleza no es del hombre. Él forma parte de ella y tal vez sea su depredador final". "El terruño que consideramos nuestro lugar en el mundo, el que nos permite sentir arraigo cultural y psicológico a un paisaje, es el resultado de una costumbre, pero en virtud de nuestro origen único el planeta entero nos pertenece y nadie es realmente de ningún lugar. Por eso recorrerlo es un modo de ejercer soberanía sobre nuestro pasado, sobre nuestra propia vida, remontándonos a los hábitos más lejanos de la especie". "En este libro he querido reunir algunos trabajos que han surgido de viajes o vivencias en Europa, Asia, África y Medio Oriente. Son la crónica de esos recorridos, claro, pero también –como dice Paul Bowles– el resultado del encuentro entre un viajero y el lugar al que ha decidido dirigir sus pasos". Invitados.

My special guest tonight is Carl Abrahamsson who's here to discuss magic and occultism in the development of our modern culture. His book. Examines key figures behind esoteric cultural developments, such as Carl Jung, Anton LaVey, Paul Bowles, Aleister Crowley, and Rudolf Steiner Explores the history of magic as a source of genuine counterculture and compares it with our contemporary soulless, digital monoculture Reveals how the magic of art can be restored if art is employed as a means rather than an end and offers strategies to rekindle intuitive creativity Art, magic, and the occult have been intimately linked since our prehistoric ancestors created the first cave paintings some 50,000 years ago. As civilizations developed, these esoteric forces continued to drive culture forward, both visibly and behind the scenes, from the Hermetic ideas of the Renaissance to the ethereal worlds of 19th-century Symbolism to the occult interests of the Surrealists. In this deep exploration of “occulture” - the liminal space where art and magic meet - Carl Abrahamsson reveals the integral role played by magic and occultism in the development of culture throughout history, as well as their relevance to the continuing survival of art and creativity. Blending magical history and esoteric philosophy with his more than 30 years' experience in occult movements, Abrahamsson examines the phenomena and people who have been seminal in modern esoteric developments, including Carl Jung, Anton LaVey, Paul Bowles, Aleister Crowley, and Rudolf Steiner. Revealing how art and magic were initially one and the same, the author explores the history of magic as a source of genuine counterculture and compares it with our contemporary soulless, digital monoculture. He reveals how the magic of art can be restored if art is employed as a means rather than an end - if it is intense, emotional, violent, and expressive - and offers strategies for creating freely, magically, even spontaneously, with intent unfettered by the whims of trends, a creative practice akin to chaos magic that assists both creators and spectators to live with meaning. He also looks at intuition and creativity as the cornerstones of genuine individuation, explaining how insights and illuminations seldom come in collective forms. Exploring magical philosophy, occult history, the arts, psychology, and the colorful grey areas in between, Abrahamsson reveals the culturally and magically transformative role of art and the ways the occult continues to transform culture to this day.

Ep. 116: Invencia Piano Duo. Let's Talk Off The Podium with Tigran Arakelyan. In this podcast we talk about the many recordings by the duo, Florent Schmitt, martial arts, working during covid-19 and much more. If the name sounds familiar to you, it could be you have read any of the number of reviews featured in the American Record Guide, International Record Review, Fanfare, Classica, International Piano, PianoNEWS, and BBC Music magazines, among others. Founded in 2003 by Andrey Kasparov and Oksana Lutsyshyn, Invencia Piano Duo prides itself on artful, insightful, and articulate performances of duo piano masterworks. Translated loosely as, “Inventive,” Invencia has earned praise worldwide for its recitals and recordings, including a 4-volume set of Florent Schmitt’s complete original works for piano duet and duo. These recordings were released on the Grand Piano label of Naxos Records, between 2012 and 2013. Issued on the American Classics label of Naxos in 2016, Invencia produced two volumes dedicated to the complete piano works of Paul Bowles. Their repertoire extends from the Baroque to the present, including original works and arrangements for this twin art form, befitting the spirit of Invencia.

À l'occasion des vingt ans de la mort du compositeur et écrivain Paul Bowles, suivez-nous à Tanger où l’Américain nomade a posé ses valises de 1947 à 1999. L'auteur de Un thé au Sahara, qui sera son premier roman et son plus grand succès, est encore aujourd’hui célébré dans la cité marocaine, qui cultive mystères et mythes autour de tous les artistes occidentaux qui sont venus y chercher l’inspiration. Après avoir fui les États-Unis très jeune au début des années 30, Paul Bowles fait du voyage un mode de vie. Dans l’entre-deux guerres, il sillonne le monde en compagnie de sa femme Jane, tout en composant des musiques de scène pour Broadway. Mais en 1947, celui qui n’avait jamais eu de vrai port d’attache, finit par s’établir dans la cité du Détroit. Il y découvre alors l'atmosphère cosmopolite et interlope de la Zone Internationale qui va durer jusqu'à l'indépendance du Maroc en 1956.À Tanger, Paul Bowles devient pleinement écrivain. Et dans ses romans, il n’a de cesse de confronter ses personnages, voyageurs occidentaux en quête d’absolu, à la cruauté de l’Ailleurs et de l’Autre, cet étrange étranger.Consacré malgré lui chef de file de la bohème nord-américaine de la Beat generation, Paul Bowles a indubitablement contribué à faire connaître Tanger auprès de Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs ou Tennessee Williams. Mais tous sont de passage, alors que Bowles, venu pour un été, va y résider toute une vie. Sur place, dans cette « dream city » comme il l’appelait, le romancier en exil finit par se fondre dans le décor. Il apprend quelques mots d’arabe dialectal, part en campagne d’enregistrement de musiques traditionnelles et traduit en anglais les récits d’auteurs marocains jusque-là anonymes comme Mohammed Mrabet ou Mohammed Choukri. En 1999, il s’éteint, le jour de l’anniversaire de l’indépendance du Maroc.Aujourd’hui, de la Légation américaine à la librairie des Colonnes en passant par le café Hafa ou le Petit Socco, on convoque encore la mémoire de cet Américain à Tanger, figure aussi insaisissable que sa ville d’adoption.Un reportage d’Inès Edel-Garcia. À découvrir à Tanger :- Au sein de la médina, le musée de l'ancienne Légation américaine abrite un espace consacré à l'écrivain et compositeur américain Paul Bowles. On y découvre ses valises, ses ouvrages, des photos de Paul Bowles en compagnie d’artistes de passage comme ceux de la Beat Generation. On y découvre aussi de multiples enregistrements sonores.- À la lisière du quartier du Marshan, non loin du consulat d'Espagne, vous reconnaîtrez peut-être l'immeuble Itesa, un édifice d'architecture assez brutaliste où se trouvait le dernier appartement de Paul Bowles. Dans le hall, à côté de l'ascenseur, une plaque est érigée à sa mémoire.- En sortant de la casbah par le Nord-Ouest (Bab Kasbah) et en longeant le littoral en direction du Cap Spartel, vous tomberez sur le Café Hafa, fondé en 1921. Ce café en escaliers, perché sur la falaise et dominant le front de mer, a vu défiler de nombreuses célébrités, dont Paul Bowles.- En face de l'hôtel Rembrandt, vous apercevrez le discret bar-restaurant Number One. À l'intérieur, vous pénétrerez dans un décor un peu désuet avec aux murs une collection de photos, affiches, tableaux de peinture, proverbes, etc. Karim, le propriétaire, en a fait un petit musée personnel qui entretient la nostalgie de l'InterZone.- Dans la ville moderne, boulevard Pasteur, se trouve la Librairie des Colonnes, lieu de passage obligé de nombreux écrivains d’hier et d’aujourd’hui. C’est la plus ancienne librairie de la ville. À lire :Par Paul Bowles :- Un thé au Sahara. Éditions Gallimard, 1949 (roman)- La maison de l'araignée. Éditions Livre de Poche, 1955 (roman)- La jungle rouge. Éditions Gallimard, 1966 (roman)- Réveillon à Tanger. Éditions Gallimard, 1987(recueil de nouvelles)- Leurs mains sont bleues.

À voir :- Un thé au Sahara (The Sheltering Sky), un film de Bernardo Bertolucci avec John Malkovich et Debra Winger sorti en 1990- Un Américain à Tanger, un film documentaire de Mohamed Ulad-Mohand, réalisé en 1993.

Et dans ses romans, il n’a de cesse de confronter ses personnages, voyageurs occidentaux en quête d’absolu, à la cruauté de l’Ailleurs et de l’Autre, cet étrange étranger.Consacré malgré lui chef de file de la bohème nord-américaine de la Beat generation, Paul Bowles a indubitablement contribué à faire connaître Tanger auprès de Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs ou Tennessee Williams. Mais tous sont de passage, alors que Bowles, venu pour un été, va y résider toute une vie. Sur place, dans cette « dream city » comme il l’appelait, le romancier en exil finit par se fondre dans le décor. Il apprend quelques mots d’arabe dialectal, part en campagne d’enregistrement de musiques traditionnelles et traduit en anglais les récits d’auteurs marocains jusque-là anonymes comme Mohammed Mrabet ou Mohammed Choukri. En 1999, il s’éteint, le jour de l’anniversaire de l’indépendance du Maroc.Aujourd’hui, de la Légation américaine à la librairie des Colonnes en passant par le café Hafa ou le Petit Socco, on convoque encore la mémoire de cet Américain à Tanger, figure aussi insaisissable que sa ville d’adoption.Un reportage d’Inès Edel-Garcia. À découvrir à Tanger :- Au sein de la médina, le musée de l'ancienne Légation américaine abrite un espace consacré à l'écrivain et compositeur américain Paul Bowles. On y découvre ses valises, ses ouvrages, des photos de Paul Bowles en compagnie d’artistes de passage comme ceux de la Beat Generation. On y découvre aussi de multiples enregistrements sonores.- À la lisière du quartier du Marshan, non loin du consulat d'Espagne, vous reconnaîtrez peut-être l'immeuble Itesa, un édifice d'architecture assez brutaliste où se trouvait le dernier appartement de Paul Bowles. Dans le hall, à côté de l'ascenseur, une plaque est érigée à sa mémoire.- En sortant de la casbah par le Nord-Ouest (Bab Kasbah) et en longeant le littoral en direction du Cap Spartel, vous tomberez sur le Café Hafa, fondé en 1921. Ce café en escaliers, perché sur la falaise et dominant le front de mer, a vu défiler de nombreuses célébrités, dont Paul Bowles.- En face de l'hôtel Rembrandt, vous apercevrez le discret bar-restaurant Number One. À l'intérieur, vous pénétrerez dans un décor un peu désuet avec aux murs une collection de photos, affiches, tableaux de peinture, proverbes, etc. Karim, le propriétaire, en a fait un petit musée personnel qui entretient la nostalgie de l'InterZone.- Dans la ville moderne, boulevard Pasteur, se trouve la Librairie des Colonnes, lieu de passage obligé de nombreux écrivains d’hier et d’aujourd’hui. C’est la plus ancienne librairie de la ville. À lire :Par Paul Bowles :- Un thé au Sahara. Éditions Gallimard, 1949 (roman)- La maison de l'araignée.

In this, the third and final podcast episode looking at this year’s Gibunco Gibraltar International Literary Festival, I speak to Richard Hamilton. Author of two books about Morocco and a former North Africa Correspondent for the BBC, Richard tells me about his affection for Tangier and the frustrations he experienced while researching this latest book ‘Tangier - From the Romans to the Rolling Stones’. A magnet for creatives like William Burroughs, Paul Bowles, Henri Matisse and Brian Jones from the Rolling Stones, the city has captivated and inspired many visitors and some of their stories can be found in Richard’s book.

Dissidenten special with Uve Mullrich in conversation with David Eastaugh Around 1981, "Embryo's Dissidenten" were founded in India by Friedemann "Friedo" Josch (b 21 July 1952, Mainz, wind instruments, keyboards) and former Embryo band members Uwe "Uve" Müllrich (b 7 December 1947, Rügen, bass, oud, guitar, vocals) and Michael Wehmeyer (keyboards,piano). Still in 1981, Marlon Klein (b 13 December 1957, Herford, drums, perc, keyboards, vocals) replaced Wehmeyer, and the band renamed themselves to Dissidenten. 1982/83, they founded their own record label Exil in Berlin. Following a one-year tour of Asia, the group decided to stay in India to produce their first album Germanistan, with the help of the Karnataka College of Percussion, female singer R.A. Ramamani and percussionist Ramesh Shotham. The live line-up was joined by Indian pianist Louis Banks and American saxophonist Charlie Mariano. Concerts in Calcutta, Madrid, Casablanca and Stockholm are documented on the live album Germanistan Tour 83. They then moved on to Morocco to record Sahara Elektrik in 1982 at the Palace of Abdesalam Akaaboune in Tangier with the help of friend Paul Bowles and local sha'abiband Lem Chaheb. The track "Fata Morgana" became a dance hit in Europe (especially Spain and Italy) and Canada, and the group toured worldwide. In 1986 the Dissidenten moved to Spain, producing Life At The Pyramids and began to receive recognition in the US and UK. In 1989 they moved back to Morocco, recording Out Of This World with the Royal National Orchestra of Morocco, and other leading North African musicians including Cherif Lamrani and other members of Lem Chaheb. The album was released world wide and the band toured around the globe to promote it. In 1991, the album Live In New Yorkwas released, and the following year The Jungle Book was recorded, weaving recordings of Indian life into dance tracks. In 1995, Klein stayed in the US to work as producer for two albums by singer Gary Wright, featuring George Harrison. In 1996, the group reunited to produce the album Instinctive Traveler, their first album with mostly English-language songs sung by Müllrich's daughter Bajka, which was followed by a tour of international festivals. Two years later they appeared at the Glastonbury festival and released their second live album, Live in Europe. In 2000, with American composer Gordon Sherwood, video artist Stefanie Seidl and the Bratislava Orchestra under Petr Feranec they created The Memory of the Waters, a “documentary opera” about the River Danube, debut performed at the International Danube Music Festival in the city of Ulm. The following year, they issued an album of remixes, A World Beat Odyssey, which they then performed live with accompanying DJs. In 2005, the opera "La Memoria de las Aguas" with the choir and orchestra of Pamplona under the direction of conductor Tomas Garridoand was broadcast by the Spanish National Radio at the Navarra Festival. In 2006 the group worked on a new Moroccan project, The Tanger Sessions, with the legendary Moroccan cult group Jil Jilala. In 2007, Dissidenten toured North Africa with Jil Jilala. Between concerts they worked together in Tangier and Casablanca to complete The Tanger Sessions. Also in 2007, the band composed and arranged the musical program for the final party of Germany’s spectacular CREOLE-Award for World Music. French/German TV ARTE and German TV WDR broadcast a lengthy feature about Dissidenten’s Moroccan experiences, "The Hippie Trail". In 2008, The Tanger Sessions was released and they toured Europe and North Africa. The first gig of the tour was broadcast live and online by German National Radio SWR in April 2008. Since summer 2008, Dissidenten & Jil Jilala performed live in Europe and North Africa. 2009 sees them again at various festivals around Europe/Northafrica and North America.

Paul Bowles skickade ut amerikanerna i Sahara i sin debutroman "The Sheltering Sky". Som Bertolucci sedan gjorde en lite utvattnad filmatisering av med Debra Winger och John Malkovich som det äkta paret Kit och Port. Som förutom hundra resväskor tar med sig sina egna trauman och missbruk ut i hettan och tomheten. Kit vacklar runt i pumps av ödlehud och pimplar champagne. Port drivs av en rastlös längtan bort och vidare och aldrig tillbaka. Öknen skalar av människan, bryter ner försvaren, tunnar ut den skyddande himlen. Paul Bowles som också var kompositör, kom från New York till Marocko på fyrtiotalet och blev kvar där. På åttiotalet blev han kult och unga adepter vallfärdade till hans hem. Han dog 1999. Ett program av Katarina Wikars.

Best known for his artful piece on Rufino Tamayo, Conklin's filmography ranges from portrayals of Gore Vidal, John Huston and Ed Ruscha as well as more sweeping subjects such as film stars from the 30's and 40's and the twilight of Weimar culture. He also made the first doc on Paul Bowles with whom he spent months in Tangier. He has a few stories.

Africa is one of those most amazing destinations, and of course it's not a single destination but countless different countries and regions which are all so different to each other - yet we tend to lump them in together, probably because many of us haven't got to exploring too much of Africa yet. I start Episode 96 of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast chatting with Linda Schlencker, who has spent many, many months guiding small self-drive groups around various parts of Africa so really knows what she's talking about. We discuss some of the fears that people have that might prevent them coming on such a trip, too, and I have to admit that wildlife passing right by my tent at night is something I'm not entirely comfortable with either! I then chat with Anna Kwiecinska who has fallen in love with Morocco and spent some long stretches of time there in recent years. She tells in particular of her romantic vision of heading out into the Sahara - and what the reality was like. (Fortunately - still good!)

Conveying Basquiat’s personal magnetism, eccentricity and non-stop creativity without romanticizing him, BOOM FOR REAL: THE LATE TEENAGE YEARS OF JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT serves as another chapter in the ongoing effort to rescue the artist from his own hype. To tell this story, Driver, who was part of the New York arts scene herself, worked closely and collaboratively with friends and other artists who emerged from that period. Drawing upon their memories and anecdotes, the film also uses period film footage, music and images to visually evoke the era, drawing a portrait of Jean-Michel and Downtown New York City-pre AIDS, President Reagan, the real estate and art booms – before anyone was motivated by money and ambition. BOOM FOR REAL: THE LATE TEENAGE YEARS OF JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT follows Basquiat's life pre-fame and how New York City, the times, the people and the movements surrounding him formed the artist he became. Using never-before-seen works, writings and photographs, director Sara Driver worked closely and collaboratively with friends and other artists who emerged from that period: Jim Jarmusch, James Nares, Fab Five Freddy, Glenn O’Brien, Kenny Scharf, Lee Quinones, Patricia Field, Luc Sante and many others. Sara Driver made her directorial debut with the short film YOU ARE NOT I in 1981, which she adapted from the 1948 Paul Bowles short story of the same name. The film, named as one of the best movies of the 1980s in a Cahiers du Cinéma critics’ poll, was lost for many years until its rediscovery in 2008 among Bowles’ belongings in Tangier. Director Sara Driver joins us for engaging conversation with one of the late-twentieth century’s brightest and innovative artist.

[Warning] This episode contains explicit language and explicit themes. Listener discretion is advised. This week is a doozy as The Tsar tries to make sense of the insane, meta-physical nature that is Paul Bowles' most famous novel. The two shred into the absurdity of the plot and berate, maybe a little to much, the author's physical appearance. However, the Tsar is masterful in his illumination of the true impact of the novel and the strong impact it had on him. They also open up with a little insight into how they warm up before a podcast! Fun and insightful, this episode has it all. Tune in every Tuesday for a new episode of The Broken Shelf.

American Weimar, novelist Steve Erickson’s 1995 essay on threats to American democracy, has always been among Alec Baldwin’s favorite pieces of writing. But last year, when all of the chickens Erickson identified came home to roost, it became clear that the piece, and its author, deserved even closer study. Erickson warned, “Democracy cannot long navigate a sea of national rage. Untempered by rationale and open-mindedness, fury eventually consumes democracy rather than nourishes it.” Today, Americans look back on the 90s as a relatively happy time, but Erickson saw our increasing polarization and our unwillingness to make tough policy choices, and he saw where those failures could lead. Erickson’s updated observations are just as fascinating, and troubling, as the original essay. His latest novel, Shadowbahn, riffs on the same American themes. In funny and moving prose, it captures a fractured people, unable to overcome our troubled past but stubbornly holding out for redemption... as one reviewer put it, “a country with hellhounds on its trail but better angels just over the horizon.” Steve Erickson is a lot of novelists’ favorite novelist. Pynchon says he has a “rare and luminous gift;” Rick Moody says he’s in a league with Pynchon. Murakami’s a fan. David Foster Wallace (in a presumably rare lapse into cliché) deemed Erickson “the cream of the crop.” Erickson’s own novels employ a wild range of genres and narrative devices -- from the Hollywood farce Zeroville, currently being turned into a movie featuring Will Farrell, to the meditative Shadowbahn, a family roadtrip through alternate American histories, featuring Elvis’s stillborn twin brother. Erickson’s exuberant mashups feel natural and even spontaneous, but he is also a professor of Creative Writing, so in his other life he has the near-impossible task of teasing out and precisely naming the building blocks of great fiction. And he has to decide which books best model each one for his students. During Alec Baldwin’s conversation with Erickson on the latest episode of Here’s the Thing, he asked Erickson for the reading list he provides to his Creative Writing students at UC Riverside, matched to which writing-tool each one can help budding novelists master. Below (in the order in which it came), is that list.

The novelist and countercultural icon Paul Bowles -- author of The Sheltering Sky, friend to William Burroughs, Gertrude Stein, and Tennessee Williams, and husband of the brilliant writer Jane Bowles -- lived in Tangier from 1947 until his death fifty-two years later. In 1959, he received a grant from the Library of Congress to “preserve†the music of Morocco. He set off in a VW bug (with his two driving companions, a Moroccan and a Canadian), laden with a massive Ampex tape recorder, bottles of hot Pepsi, and a pound of hashish. These remarkable recordings have long been unavailable, but last year, the label Dust-to-Digital released them as a deluxe box set. The Organist asked the writer Brian Edwards to listen to the tapes, and to tell Bowles’s remarkable story. Brian went through hours of recordings dozens of times, and sent back this report, which raises important questions about the problems— artistic, technical, and of course ethical — of recording a music you love in a country that’s not your own.

Dan Halpern, publisher and President of Ecco, and winner of the 2015 Maxwell Perkins Award for Distinguished Achievement in the Field of Fiction, talks about his life’s twists and turns – stories about how his college roommate, a Hemmingway lookalike, got him interested in poetry, how Paul Bowles invited him to Morocco and asked him to start a literary magazine, and how luck, optimism and a little bit of obsessiveness played a role in his great and varied accomplishments.

The farther you go from home, the stranger things get. A story about Paul Bowles.
Paul Bowles skickade ut amerikanerna i Sahara i sin debutroman The Sheltering Sky. Som Bertolucci sen gjorde en lite utvattnad filmatisering av med Debra Winger och John Malkovich som det äkta paret Kit och Port. Som förutom hundra resväskor tar med sig sina egna trauman och missbruk ut i hettan och tomheten. Kit vacklar runt i pumps av ödlehud och pimplar champagne. Port drivs av en rastlös längtan bort och vidare och aldrig tillbaka. Öknen skalar av människan, bryter ner försvaren, tunnar ut den skyddande himlen. Paul Bowles som också var kompositör, kom från New York till Marocko på fyrtiotalet och blev kvar där. På åttiotalet blev han kult och unga adepter vallfärdade till hans hem. Han dog 1999.

Paul Bowles skickade ut amerikanerna i öknen i sin debutroman "Den skyddande himlen" från 1949, som Bertolucci sen gjorde en lite urvattnad film av med Debra Winger och John Malkovich som det äkta paret Kit och Port. Paul Bowles var kompositör och gift med författaren Jane och kom till Nordafrika på fyrtiotalet och blev kvar där till sin död 1999. Han var kompis med Gertrude Stein och Truman Capote och alla beatpoeterna. På åttiotalet fick en han en renässans, unga adepter kom vallfärdande till hans hem i Tanger i Marocko. Då var Jane redan död på mentalsjukhus i Spanien, hon hade alltid mer ångest mer skrivkramp, men hon fick till romanen Två allvarligt sinnade damer och några pjäser. Norman Mailer har sagt att Paul Bowles öppnade litteraturen för morden, drogerna, incesten, orgiens rop, civilisationens slut, och det slog uppenbarligen an. Den 30 december 2010 skulle han ha fyllt hundra. I dagens K1 hör vi en intervju med honom från 1991, då Lena Gavelin besökte honom i hans hem i Paul Bowles skickade ut amerikanerna i öknen i sin debutroman Den skyddande himlen från 1949. Han var kompositör och gift med författaren Jane Bowles och kom till Nordafrika på fyrtiotalet och blev kvar där till sin död 1999. Han var kompis med Gertrude Stein och Truman Capote och alla beatpoeterna. På åttiotalet fick en han en renässans, unga adepter kom vallfärdande till hans hem i Tanger i Marocko.

Norman Mailer har sagt att Paul Bowles öppnade litteraturen för morden, drogerna, incesten, orgiens rop, civilisationens slut, inte illa, och det slog uppenbarligen an. "Du skapar en karaktär och tänker ut det värsta som skulle kunna hända honom eller henne, och sen låter du det hända. That is the pleasure of writing." I dagens K1 hör vi en intervju med honom från 1991, då Lena Gavelin besökte honom i hans hem i Tanger. Katarina Wikars ser om filmen Den skyddande himlen av Bertolucci med Debra Winger och John Malkovich som det äkta paret Kit och Port. De tar med sig sina egna trauman och missbruk ut i hettan och tomheten, var skulle de annars göra av dem? Port drivs av en längtan bort och aldrig tillbaka och när hans pass blir stulet känner han bara lättnad. Kit pimplar champagne i pumps av ödlehud, försöker förhålla sig till tusen förebud, identifiera alla omen, hon är kroniskt rädd för att ta ansvar för sitt eget liv. De kan inte röra varann, bara vid andra och knappt det, Kit väntar på en förändring utifrån, Port är instängd i sin egenhändigt byggda bur av ensamhet, de reser så fort, Port med tyfusen i kroppen ifrån sitt pass, må det aldrig komma tillbaka, Kit låter föras bort av karavanen, sin kropp hårdhänt användas, inga minnen mer, den dörren är stängd. Det finns inte längre några ord att tänka med. Bara himlen ser på, men det gör den inte och en dag skyddar den inte ens längre, den spricker och bakom den hålet, mörkret, ingenting.
