Description
The Tangier Diaries is a memoir that brings to life the decadent and flamboyant world of 1960s and '70s Tangier. This edge city, known as the 'Interzone', was a magnet for artists, writers, millionaires, and socialites who sought an intense and free-spirited lifestyle. John Hopkins, a young writer, became part of this bohemian community, rubbing shoulders with notable figures such as Tennessee Williams and Jean Genet.
Hopkins' account of those intoxicating decades is a vivid portrayal of Tangier's 'Golden Years', when grand old houses sparkled with life and the eccentric inhabitants lived and loved with abandon. Though many of these characters have passed away, their legacy lives on in this cult classic, which offers a unique glimpse into a bygone era.
