“The Sheltering Sky 是一本关于身处异质空间边缘之人的书；奇怪的是，在那里他们从未真正孤独过”——Michael Hoffman。Port 和 Kit Moresbury 是一对阅历丰富的美国夫妇，两人发现彼此相处已变得异常艰难。为了逃避这一困境，他们动身前往北非，打算穿越阿尔及利亚——虽然不确定究竟要去向何方，但他们决心将现代世界抛在脑后。这个随意做出的决定，其带来的后果既充满悲剧色彩，又令人难以抗拒。

Many people have written about it but I think Paul Bowles nailed it in The Sheltering Sky: "Death is always on the way, but the fact that you don't know when it will arrive seems to take away from the finiteness of life.

…conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless." - The Sheltering Sky, Paul Bowles (1949).
