Jane Bowles has for many years had an underground reputation as one of the truly original writers of the twentieth century. The collection in My Sister's Hand in Mine of expertly crafted short fiction will fully acquaint all students and scholars with the author Tennessee Williams called "the most important writer of prose fiction in modern American letters.
The correspondence of the American author portrays her personal life, her marriage to the writer and composer, Paul Bowles, and her struggle with illness.
“I didn't ant-icipate (forgive me!) the style of The Antics of Ant, but I enjoyed the drawings,” says biologist, naturalist, and author E. O. Wilson. This collection of funny, clever, and sometimes dry cartoons remained a secret, hidden between pages of academic and scientific documents, for nearly five decades. Jane Margaret Bowles was a biologist and ecologist with a lifelong passion for poetry, humor, and sketching plants and animals. After her death, these four sets of ant drawings were discovered—one of which appeared on the reverse side of a typewritten plant physiology essay. Other clues date the illustrations to the mid-1970s, and no one is sure if Bowles showed even one of them to another living soul. Today, they are yours to enjoy. See the world in a new and enchanting way and discover the small, delightful surprises hiding within each page as you follow this parade of seemingly infinite wordplay and visual manifestations of the ant body…or antatomy.
