3.0 out of 5 stars misleading, May 3, 2009

Jeffery Wang "tryingtocatchup" (Los Angeles, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Too Far from Home: The Selected Writings of Paul Bowles (Paperback)

A good selection but the back cover erroneously says that the book contains "the complete text of The Sheltering Sky". In fact there is only a 60 page excerpt.
