dbp:quote
  • “In the stories of The Delicate Prey, 1950, the medium’s limitation seems to enhance the basic virtue of Bowles, his tight control of savage and baleful situations, and to foreshorten his main weakness, the inability to conceive and develop characters dramatically.”—Ihab Hassan in The Pilgrim as Prey: A Note on Paul Bowles (en)
  • “What is immediately striking--and particularly characteristic of Bowles's fiction--is the distanced, clinical, quietly confident, and authoritative tone; the rigorously unadorned, quasi-journalistic prose style; the sleek, controlled elegance of his sentences…Bowles's approach to his material and to his characters is relentlessly anthropological, unbiased by either contempt and derision on the one hand or by sympathy and affection on the other…”—Francine Prose, in Harper's Magazine (en)
