Endeavouring to escape this predicament, they set off for North Africa intending to travel through Algeria - uncertain of exactly where they are heading, but determined to leave the modern world behind. The results of this casually taken decision are both tragic and compelling.\u003cbr\u003e\n      About the Author      \u003cbr\u003e\nBorn in New York in 1910, Paul Bowles is considered one of the most remarkable American authors of the twentieth century.
