Zaklon od neba

Zaklon od neba

Paul Bowles

Zaklon od neba kultni je, izvorno 1949. godine objavljeni roman američkog pisca i kompozitora Paula Bowlesa – po kojem je B. Bertolucci snimio popularni Čaj u Sahari s Johnom Malkovichem u glavnoj ulozi.

Riječ je o bestseleru koji odavno slave i kritika i publika i koji su čitave škole, na čelu s bitnicima – Burroughsom, Ginsbergom, Kerouacom – utkale u temelj svojih poetika, a Bowlesa ustoličile kao neku vrstu vlastitog duhovnog oca. Bowles, koji je u Sjevernoj Africi proveo dobar dio života, ispisao je u ovoj, ali i drugim svojim knjigama pustinji istovremeno bezvremenu odu te nježnu tužaljku za 'pustinjom kakva je nekad bila'.

Njegovi protagonisti, mladi, međusobno emocionalno i seksualno otuđeni njujorški bračni par Port i Kit, u Afriku stižu u pratnji prijatelja Tunnera, sa sasvim različitim očekivanjima od putovanja. Port, klasični egzistencijalistički antijunak, u pustinji traži rješenje rastemeljenosti vlastitog bivanja u ionako rastemeljenom poratnom svijetu, Kit se nada njihovu ponovnom zbližavanju, a Tunner je najbliži američkome turistu. Njihovo će putovanje, također, za svakoga od njih i završiti posve različitim ishodom. Reći više, opasno bi ugrozilo užitak u čitanju; čist i nepatvoren.
