 Boston Review:
Bowles, who lived in Morocco, urged him to come, and the following summer, Alfred Chester, disgusted by now with the critical writing that was taking over his life and determined to write another novel, let the landlord buy him out of the apartment at last, and made his fateful hegira to Tangier.

Without getting her permission, Chester gave his editor a quote from Susan Sontag to use on the book jacket, to the effect that "Alfred Chester is the most interesting writer in New York." He told me it was something she had said to him on the phone.
