Reader’s view on Bowles stories show psychological violence
The critic argues Bowles blends physical abuse with psychological hysteria driven by drugs in Under The Sky and condemns the moral strangeness of his settings. The title tale’s impact is its implications and fanaticism, not its repulsiveness, with New York and exotic locales highlighting Western notions of the alien. Ramon’s cruel bid for friendship in The Fourth Day Out From Santa Cruz exemplifies true violence through means and end.
