Description
For Bread Alone by Muḥammad Shukrī A true story of human desperation, shattering in its impact. Mohamed's family flees their home in search of a better life, but his father's inability to find work leads to violent outbursts. In a desperate bid for survival, Mohamed learns to charm and steal. It is during a brief stay in a Moroccan jail that Mohamed discovers a love of poetry, which would prove to be a life-altering experience. The distinguished writer Paul Bowles collaborated closely with Mohamed Choukri on the translation of this powerful memoir, and penned an introduction that sets the tone for this harrowing tale. This is a story of resilience and survival, of one man's struggle to find his place in the world amidst poverty, violence, and desperation.
