Description
In Tangier, Muḥammad Shukrī recounts his encounters with some of the most fascinating writers of the 20th century. This collection offers a unique insight into the lives of cult figures such as Jean Genet and Tennessee Williams, who were drawn to the city's mystique. Shukrī's recollections are refreshingly honest and unpretentious, providing a fresh perspective on these literary giants. The book includes an afterword by Choukri previously published only in French, adding depth to this already captivating account. Mohamed Choukri was one of North Africa's most widely read authors, known for his candid writing style. Born in 1935 and awarded the chair of Arabic literature at Ibn Batuta College in Tangier, Choukri's life story is as fascinating as his writings.
