The sheltering sky

I read this book by Paul Bowles only recently. He's a reference, of course, for anybody interested in literature and lives led outside conventions, sexually and otherwise.
For me, adds to this that I love tales of travel. The whole book is fantastic, but what got to me most, and might get to you too as you seem to like things I post in my blog, is the last chapter: "Sky". Kit's adventure has haunted me ever since I've read it.
