by Paul Bowles

HarperCollins · 2014 · 352 pages

Newlyweds Port and Kit Moresby, seeking escape from their own ennui, journey into the stark beauty and profound indifference of North Africa after WWII. Their quest for meaning quickly dissolves into a chilling exploration of alienation and existential dread, as the vast, alien landscape mirrors their own internal emptiness. This haunting novel, a masterclass in atmosphere and psychological disintegration, is for readers drawn to the unsettling power of place and the terrifying fragility of the human psyche.
