Synopsis: Between 1987 and 1989, Paul Bowles kept a journal to document his daily life at the suggestion of a friend. This collection reveals not only his daily meals, conversations, and health concerns but also offers an intriguing glimpse into the creative process of an artist exploring a new medium. With a blend of informal yet insightful prose, Bowles captures various experiences, from observing an itinerant spider to witnessing a violent incident in a Tangier marketplace, and the extravagance of Malcolm Forbes's seventieth birthday party. "Days" provides a candid portrait of Bowles's life in late twentieth-century Tangier.
