A Hundred Camels in the CourtyardCompact Disc, 5 January 2004

Paul Bowles reads this classic suite of Moroccan kif stories that he recorded in Tangier, Morocco, in the Fall of 1978. Previously released as a 2 LP recording in 1981, and long sold out, these stories are now available again in this audiobook format. Bowles' accompanying essay for this recording is printed in the included booklet. It sets forth the method of writing employed in these stories -- the selection of arbitrary incidents and phenomena factored into the kif-smoker's imperium of sensibility.
