«Muy lejos de casa» is the novel by Paul Bowles, published by Editorial Seix Barral in paperback (139 pages, in Spanish).
An American woman travels to French-speaking black Africa; her arrival confronts her world with indigenous culture and with that of the Westerners settled there. Bowles composes a moral fable about desire and action, and about the boundaries between the real, the fantastic, and the dreamed, with a style of precise expressive economy.
The edition belongs to the Biblioteca Breve collection, with translation by Rodrigo Rey Rosa and illustrations by Miquel Barceló; the original title is Too Far from Home.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction and stories about the encounter between 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.
