      Jane Bowles wrote very little: just one perfect novel, Two Serious Ladies, a play, the Summer House, and the dozen or so stories. But it was enough to establish a reputation as one of the twentieth century's most original fiction writers. This edition of Jane Bowles' stories comes with a biographical note and photos.

      A Little Original Sin
    • 1997

      In den vorliegenden Briefen zeichnet Jane Bowles ein eindrucksvolles Bild von ihrer Auseinandersetzung mit einer Welt, deren Maßstäbe, Rituale und Gesetze ihren eigenen Visionen fern sind. Fast unmerklich wird klar, dass eins und eins nicht zwei sind, dass Widersprüche nebeneinander existieren und dass das Leben überhaupt sehr absurde Seiten hat.
