The Delicate Prey is a piece of short fiction by Paul Bowles, written in 1949 and first published that year in Paris by the small literary journal Zero. In 1950, Random House presented the story in the collection of Bowles’s short fiction, The Delicate Prey and Other Stories. This short story is considered one of Bowles' most outstanding and controversial works of fiction. “The Delicate Prey” was declined for inclusion by the British John Lehmann publishers in its collection of Bowles’s works A Little Stone in 1950. It would not be printed in Britain until 1968 due to censorship issues.

quote
| - ”Playwright Tennessee Williams on “The Delicate Prey”: “I recognised it as a beautiful piece of prose but advised Bowles against its publication in the States. You see, my own shocking stories had been published in expensive private editions by New Directions and never exhibited on a bookstore counter.”
Williams cautioned Bowles “if you publish it, you’re mad.” — Colm Tóibín in The London Review of Books (en)
