Bowled over It would be impossible to match Jane Bowles's credentials for cool. In the 1930s, as a teenager living at the Hotel Meurice in New York, she wrote her first novel – in French. Skating over her family's pleas, she moved out in favor of Greenwich Village and the lesbian life, continuing to enjoy the latter even after marrying the famous composer Paul Bowles (on his way to becoming the famous writer Paul Bowles). Amid the frantic partying and the Federal Bureau of Investigation's surveillance, the pair set off to live in Morocco, where Jane enjoyed the dazzling sun, her dazzling writing, and her dazzling housekeeper Sherifa. Catch her play In the Summer House, a surreal and sensual drama of familial bonds, as Paducah Mining Co. stages a reading of this masterpiece from an unacknowledged master. 8 p.m., Exit Café, 156 Eddy, S.F. $5-$10 suggested donation. (415) 561-1418.
