{"product_id":"the-sheltering-sky","title":"The Sheltering Sky","description":"“The Sheltering Sky is one of the most original, even visionary, works of fiction to appear in the twentieth century.” —Tobias Wolff\n\"It stands head and shoulders above most other novels published in English since World War II.” —New Republic\nIn this existential classic of psychological terror, Paul Bowles examines the ways in which Americans apprehend other cultures―and the ways in which their incomprehension destroys them. The story of three American travelers adrift in the cities and deserts of North Africa after World War II, The Sheltering Sky is at once merciless and heartbreaking in its compassion. It etches the limits of human reason and intelligence―perhaps even the limits of human life ―when they touch the unfathomable emptiness and impassive cruelty of the Sahara desert.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0062351486\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0062351486.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bowles, Paul\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
