    <body><![CDATA[You can always find good bits in a good writer's writing memoir. Unfortunately, Bowles' autobiography spends more time between travel lists and gossipy paragraph-long anecdotes about all the famous writers and composers and artists he spent time with. Oddly tedious for a writer capable of the drugge...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/34823513">more...</a>]]></body>
