(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.
