“Resuscitation, re-creation, recreation: Karren Alenier’s The Anima of Paul Bowles makes a lyrical dive into the historical corpus of two major 20th-century writer/artists, Paul and Jane Bowles. […] the book serves as a fascinating alternative narrative of the modernist era. Alenier deftly balances between various modes—informative, brash, musical— throughout the book, all while creating a narrative that is deeply felt and rooted in a wonder at the complexities of human relationships: ‘I loved her?’ Paul finally asks of his life with Jane. Question mark, indeed.”
