Jane Bowles was under-evaluated in the world of letters until the late 1970s, in spite of the admiration of Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote and Alan Sillitoe. Since the 1980s Bowles has been reevaluated by critics using approaches, including feminist, postmodern and postcolonial criticism. I consider her only full-length novel, Two Serious Ladies. I analyze Jane Bowles's unique structure, style and themes. The two central figures, Miss Goering whose name derives from the Nazi, Hermann Goring, and Mrs. Copperfield each travel to increasingly dangerous places. In their behavior they seek out profanity or moral degradation. I interpret the sexual deviation of the two ladies by applying Bowles's obsession with Kafka's passage, "From a certain point onward there is no longer any turning back. That is the point that must be reached." and employed Foucault's conception of "transgression."
