«Cabezas verdes, manos azules» is Paul Bowles's book of travel chronicles, published by Alfaguara in paperback (225 pages, in Spanish).
Bowles gathers chronicles and travel scenes from places in the so-called non-Christian world, with special attention to Morocco and other regions of Africa. Bowles combines the traveller's gaze with that of the narrator to portray landscapes, customs and encounters with anonymous people, without giving up personal reflection.
It belongs to the Alfaguara Bolsillo collection (no. 54) and is a translation by Guillermo Lorenzo of the original Their Heads Are Green and Their Hands Are Blue. This Spanish edition was published in 1997.
For readers of travel chronicles and non-fiction, and for those seeking Paul Bowles's view of Morocco and other North African cultures.
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.
