The Delicate Prey by Paul Bowles
and Other Stories
A compact collection of spare, unsettling short stories set largely in North Africa and among expatriates, exploring cultural collision, isolation, and the unpredictability of human violence; through precise, detached prose the narratives trace outsiders’ fragile assumptions, moral ambiguity, and moments of cruelty or betrayal, leaving readers with haunting, ambiguous endings that linger long after the tales conclude.
