«Un episodio distante» is a collection of short stories by Paul Bowles, published by Alfaguara in hardcover (144 pages, in Spanish).
Written between 1939 and 1948, the stories recreate fascinating and violent landscapes and show subtle revelations of their characters. The work invites reflection on how the rational exhausts the world and on recovering a darker, freer dimension of the human being; Gore Vidal praised Bowles's ability to suggest horrors beneath a fragile surface.
Translation by Guillermo Lorenzo; volume in Alfaguara's Literaturas series, published in 1992.
For readers of short stories and contemporary fiction who appreciate intense atmospheres and a disturbing undertone.
Paul Frederic Bowles was an American composer, author, and translator. He became associated with the Moroccan city of Tangier, where he settled in 1947 and lived for 52 years to the end of his life.
