“The Sheltering Sky” by Paul Bowles – The Emptiness Inside
The Sheltering Sky , by Paul Bowles, is a book which tells story of three American travelers wandering in the cities and deserts of North Africa during the Second World War . More precisely, we follow the adventures of Port and Kit, a couple entangled in a lifeless marriage, and their friend George Tunner, who decides to join them in their adventures more out of impulsiveness rather than anything else. While the trio had hoped their journey across North Africa would breathe life into them, nothing of the sort happened; rather, they just found themselves in another type of prison.
