Colonial Affairs: Bowles, Burroughs, and Chester Write Tangier

Set in postwar Tangier, a North African port city with a unique blend of cultures, this book explores the lives of three influential American writers—Paul Bowles, William S. Burroughs, and Alfred Chester—who thrived in this international zone during the 1950s and 1960s. It offers a nuanced literary portrait while examining the interplay between colonialism and sexuality, highlighting how these themes shaped their writing and experiences on the fringes of society.
