One of the most unusual literary innovations ever produced, A Life Full of Holes is the result of a singular collaboration between two remarkable individuals: Driss ben Hamed Charhadi, an illiterate North African servant and street vendor, and legendary American novelist and essayist Paul Bowles. The powerful story of a shepherd and petty trafficker struggling to maintain hope as he wrestles with the grim realities of daily life, it is the first novel ever written in the Arabic dialect Moghrebi, faithfully recorded and translated into English by Bowles. Straightforward yet rich in...

In many ways the speed with which financial resources traverse the globe, the opportunities which this provides for the efficient allocation of resources, the possibilities which this creates for financial crises and traders who act as agents removed from the concerns of national citizens have come to symbolize the phenomenon, hopes and fears of 'globalization'.
However, inextricably linked they may be, but well understood they are not. In the case of national currencies, a wide variety of predictions and analyses...

No Exit was first presented in New York at the Biltmore Theatre with Claude Dauphin, Annabella, and Ruth Ford. Two women and one man are locked up together for eternity in one hideous room in hell. The windows are bricked up; there are no mirrors; the electric lights can never be turned off; and there is no exit. The irony of this hell is that its torture is not of the rack and fire, but of the burning humiliation of each soul as it is stripped of its pretenses by the cruel curiosity of the damned. Here the soul is shorn of secrecy,...

Letters written 1979-1986. Biographical information and stories. Henry Miller wrote to Mrabet: "The fact that you can not read has perhaps made you a better writer than most who do read."

I dont "ghostwrite" them; I merely translate them as he dictates." Irving Stettner, prose writer, poet and watercolorist; friend of Henry Miller; published Stroker magazine for 30 years.

-Ah, - said Hassan, -I don't believe in the world. There's another world where life is different.-
These are stories of that world. The word m'hashish (equivalent in Moghrebi of -behashished- or -full of hashish-) is used only in a literal sense, but also figuratively, to describe a person whose behavior seems irrational or unexpected. The tales here deal with some of the possible results, desirable and questionable, of being in that state.
Mohammed Mrabet was born in Tangier in 1936. Since meeting in the early 1960's, Paul Bowles has taped and translated numerous strange...
