Author (1910–1999) who started as a promising composer, but refocused on writing and moved to Tangiers. His distinct body of literary work, characterized by incisive powers of observation, includes a wealth of short stories and poetry, as well as the modern classic The Sheltering Sky. ALS, one page on a 5.5 x 3.5 postcard of the Place de la Casbah in Tangiers, January 12, 1987. Letter to an admirer. In full: “I have your letter of inquiry about literary influences. I suspect that my reply won’t be of much interest to you, since it may seem to skirt the issue. But the matter of influence has never preoccupied me. I’ve simply written without thought of such a thing. No point, I think, in worrying about other peoples’ work. It would be a hindrance. One writes the way one writes.” In fine condition, with a mild overall shade of toning.
