promoting the works of Paul and Jane Bowles in the written, musical and theatre forms visited by people who like Paul Bowles from more than 119 countries The ramparts of Tangier 'If I said that Tangier struck me as a dream city, I should mean it in the strictest sense. Its topography was rich in prototypal dream scenes: covered streets like corridors with doors opening into rooms on each side, hidden terraces high above the sea, streets consisting only of steps, dark impasses, small squares built on sloping terrain so that they looked like ballet sets designed in false perspective, with alleys leading off in several directions; as well as the classic dream equipment of tunnels, ramparts, ruins, dungeons and cliffs.'
