This is brilliant writing as always Tom. But what do you think happened to Paul? Maybe he was hiding under The Sheltering Sky??? 😂 sorry, couldn’t resist. Sounds like a fun trip.
I haven’t thought of Paul Bowles in years and just found out that his ashes are scattered in a cemetery about 2 hours from us, in the Finger Lakes wine area of NY. Since I love wine and visiting cemeteries, this might be an interesting day trip. I’ll let you know if I see Phyllis, Kathy or Wanda there.
...I learned how to say 'thank you' in Mandarin for a random GP I went to see but he did not seem impressed. How disappointing. Perhaps I should visit Tangier.

Thanks so much Julie! Haha I was trying to think of a pun and couldn't - should have consulted you!

I hear your Substack is discounted today only! LOL LOL
Haha - get the offer while it's still hot!
Great post, Tom! Shukran. 😀
Shukran Holly! :-)
Paul was there, or his memorabilia was when we went in 2020. A modest collection presented in a kinda ad hoc way. A reno wouldn’t hurt!
Perhaps that's what was happening!

Oh how rude of him! They'll appreciate it in Tangier for sure!
