It was though Jane Bowles that Brion was introduced to Morocco & eventually Burroughs, Corso and the beat writers  whose lives he would completely change.   Jane met him in Paris in 1938 soon introducing him to Paul. A decade later they invited him to stay with them in Tangier,  and by December 1954 Brion had opened up his restaurant, 1001 Nights,  in the Marshan quarter. Tho he and Burroughs had met several times there, they never quite connected till they ran into each other in Paris in 1958, when soon after Burroughs suggested he take a room at what would become the Beat Hotel.

I took train with him from Tangier and stayed a week, July 20-24, 1961 (photo & caption: Allen Ginsberg, courtesy Stanford University Libraries / Allen Ginsberg Esate) By the time of this photo, Bowles had lived in Morocco for over 10 years, having first visited in 1931 with Aaron Copeland at Gertrude Stein’s prodding. His best known book, The Sheltering Sky, had been a best seller in 1950.  Although he would make frequent visits to the US, Morocco had become his home until his death in 1999.   “Because we don’t know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can’t even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four, five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps 20. And yet it all seems limitless.”  - Paul Bowles, the Sheltering Sky #paulbowles #allenginsberg #marrakech #Jemaael-Fnaa #theshelteringsky #ryuichisakamoto #BernardoBertolucci #morocco #letitcomedown #janebowles #gertrudestein #aaroncopeland  #writers #literature (at Jemaa El Fna, Marrakech) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKpbZrThd5W/?igshid=1f8j02lx7l3oo

now that I finally have reading glasses & can somewhat read hard copies of books again, I’m starting in on this book I bought three years ago for .25 at a pop up charity book shop. It’s one I’ve not been able to get an electronic copy of so I’m quite excited to read a work raved about by Tennessee Williams & Truman Capote! “My favorite book. I can’t think of a modern novel more likely to become a classic,” Tennessee Williams. “A modern legend,” Truman Capote. #booklr #janebowles #twoseriousladies #bookstagram #classiclit #books

1st I knew of the existence of this: A Stick Of Green Candy, stories by #JaneBowles & #DentonWelch Nothing as mind blowing as Two Serious Ladies, but sweet tales of youth. With images by Colter Jacobsen. Fine 4 Corners hardback 2009 1st edition. In fine Mylar wrapped jacket, $20.

Merging Books: “Two Serious Ladies Trout Fishing in America” Up until this triumphant novel debuted, trout fishing was considered to be the laughing stock of the outdoor community. Then came along these two revolutionary ladies who said to the world, “you know what? We’re going to be dead serious about trout fishing. And we’re going to do it in America.” I give this one 🐟🐟🐟🐟/ 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. - - - - - - - - - - #bibliophile #bookworm #booknerd #booknerdigans #books #reading #create #funny #comedy #twoseriousladiestroutfishinginamerica #twoseriousladies #janebowles #troutfishinginamerica #richardbrautigan #readersofinstagram #bookcovers #merge #instagram #instadaily #amwriting #parody #writerslife #wordporn #writersofinstagram #wednesday #author #authorsofinstagram
