Book Reviews of The Sheltering Sky
Book Review: A spellbinding story of existential angst.
Summary: 5 Stars
The Sheltering Sky. A novel that's really about something important (the state of the soul) and thus enters and churns the guts. A spellbinding story of existential angst, erotic flowering and the descent into madness. It would have had Kierkergaard believing he had a soul-mate. It haunts and disturbs; it lures, excites and horrifies. The desert - beautifully recreated by Bowles - holds you in its magical yet merciless thrall to the point you long to go there even though ultimately only despair awaits you.
