Born in New York, he attended the University of Virginia before moving to Paris, where he became part of Gertrude Stein's circle.
Bowles married author Jane Auer in 1938 and settled permanently in Tangier in 1947.
The couple became central figures in the expatriate literary scene, hosting notable visitors like Truman Capote and Tennessee Williams.
Bowles continued writing and living in Tangier after his wife's death in 1973 until his own passing in 1999.
His ashes were interred in Lakemont, New York, near his family.
