Industry Reviews "THE DELICATE PREY is in fact one of the most profound, beautifully wrought, and haunting collections in our literature....Bowles's tales are at once austere, witty, violent, and sensuous. They move with the inevitability of myth. His language has a purity of line, a poise and authority entirely its own..." Esquire - Tobias Wolff
