'Conversations with Paul Bowles'
Paul Bowles, Gena Dagel Caponi (Editor) University Press of Mississippi, 1993
In a 1990 interview with Stephen Davis, Bowles mentions that, if forced to choose a biographer, he would want it to be Millicent Dillon, the biographer of his late wife, Jane. 'Each man's life has the quality he gives it, but you can't say that life itself has any qualities. If we suffer, it's because we haven't learned how not to.' 'The man who wrote the books didn't exist. No writer exists. He exists in his books, and that's all.' 'I write unconsciously, without knowing what I am writing.'
