- "Bowles' characters seem the dramatic proof of a radical impossibility, the impossibility of love. Human relationships are, with scarcely few exceptions, shown as sterile or intolerable…at times implausible. Rape, incest, lesbianism, homosexuality, adultery, and simple betrayal, with all their attending virulence, betoken the most complete negation of human love to which a novelist can may refer." – Ihab Hassan from The Pilgrim as Prey: A Note on Paul Bowles in Western Review 19 :23–36 (en)
