من الريف إلى طنجة
صدر حديثا عن منشورات «الفاصلة» بطنجة، كتاب جديد يحمل عنوان «من الريف إلى طنجة» لمؤلفه بول بولز بترجمة وتقديم إبراهيم الخطيب الذي سبق أن ترجم له العديد من أعماله الادبية آخرها «يوميات طنجة 1987ـ 1989» في 2017. يذكر أن بول بولز قضى أكثر من نصف عمره، والذي بلغ تسعين عاما، في طنجة، المدينة المغربية، كوسموبوليتية الطابع، والتي لطالما عرفت العديد من الكتاب والفنانين العالميين واجتذبتهم إليها، حيث قدم إليها زائرا أول مرة مطلع الثلاثينيات غير أن زيارته الثانية لها أواخر الأربعينيات تحولت إلى إقامة دائمة حتى وفاته ودفنه فيها عام 1999. هذا الارتباط الذي قال عنه الناقد والمترجم ابراهيم الخطيب « إنني لن أُبالغ إذا قلت إن الكاتب الأمريكي كان دائماً حاضراً على نحو من الأنحاء في التطور السياسي والثقافي الذي عرفته بلادنا منذ انطلاق المد الوطني في الخمسينيات».

Paul Bowles's literary engagement with Morocco
This study argues that Paul Bowles is more perceptive than many American travelers in Morocco. The book provides us with what are perhaps the most sustained meditations to date on Bowles’s translation work and his autobiography, as well as perceptive analyses of key stories such as “A Distant Episode” and “Here to Learn” and his second novel, Let It Come Down, set primarily in Tangier. The chapter on translation dwells on the complex interactions between Moroccan storytellers and Bowles. The work considers translation as a site where the oral and written, colonial and post-colonial scene, and English and Maghrebi come face to face; it is a place where things are worked out in dynamic interaction. The chapter on Bowles’s autobiography Without Stopping, urges us to take this piece of self-writing (famously dubbed Without Telling by William Burroughs) more seriously, drawing our attention to baroque architectural features of mind and external landscape, worlds distorted by mirrors, dreams, and fluid transit where forms morph. The work also highlights difference between experience and representation of experience through language, transformed through the prism of memory. In the chapter on Without Stopping as well as in my discussions of Bowles’s fiction, I provide useful elaborations of connections between Bowles’s work and that of Edgar Allan Poe. My reading of one of Bowles’s best-known stories, “A Distant Episode,” brings to the surface a recognition that the tragic fate of the Professor, the story’s protagonist, is an outcome of his inability to admit that cultures are not static. The academically trained linguist demonstrates an unwillingness or inability to adapt to change, or to read cultural signs accurately. The message is that Morocco is not stuck in time, and cannot be held in place by Orientalist fantasies or preconceived, externally derived intellectual constructs and assumptions. The book concludes that against the grain of Samuel Huntington’s notion ofClash of Civilizations, Bowles’s poetic and geographical journey forcefully projects cosmopolitanism and transnational attention confirming that civilizations and ‘identities’ open up rather than shut down, war or clash.

Paul Bowles - The New Generation: Do You Bowles?
This volume includes twenty-five interdisciplinary essays on Paul Bowles's literary and musical work.

They seek alternative and multiple perspectives of his work through the dynamics of music and literature, avant-garde film and the No wave scene, torture studies and security, Islamic studies, modernism and surrealism. Following the international conference \"Do You Bowles?\" held in Lisbon, in 2010, which celebrated Paul Bowles's 100th birthday, this collection shows how Bowles's work engages creatively with his predecessors and a variety of perspectives, by rethinking modes of consciousness and of artistic and cross-cultural potential that still inspire todays' artists and scholars, both as a writer as well as a composer.The editor set up a webpage dedicated to the book: http://www.doyoubowles.org.

Lunch with Genet
Le Gran Cafe de Paris separated the old part of Tangier from the European part of town. On a corner that offered a view of those going to the Socco Grande and on down into the medina, and those heading to Rue du Pasteur and the European shops, or Madame Port's for the best coffee and pastries--or later in the day, her famous martinis for the Nazarenes. Or maybe the Libraire du Cologne, for English language books, if that's what you were looking for. Genet! A writer who represented everything my life had not been. A thief, an immigration activist, a supporter of the Palestinian cause, the subject of Sartre's Saint Genet, and the author of numerous iconic works. When he died, he was buried in Larache, Morocco. He had become an almost mythological figure to those of us who had read his books, certainly the cult writer most celebrated in our group, a true knight of the underworld.
