The Paul Bowles Room was the inspiration of Gloria Kirby, a resident of Tangier who established this exposition through her donation of books, furnishings, photographs, and other memorabilia relating to the life of Tangier’s most famous expatriate writer and composer, Paul Bowles. As a work-in-progress, the Paul Bowles Room continues to evolve with contributions from other individuals. |
