商品簡介
Tangier is a possessed city, haunted by spirits of different faiths. When we have literature in our blood, in our souls, it's impossible not to be visited by them. To stay in Tangier is to succumb to the charm of these spirits. They're everywhere. And if every once in a while we are surprised to find ourselves eating more than we need to, it's because they are in us. We see the city with their eyes. We love it for them. They live because of us. -- from Another Morocco
In 2006, Abdellah Taïa returned to his native Morocco to promote the Moroccan release of his second book, Le rouge du tarbouche (The red of the fez). During this book tour, he was interviewed by a reporter for the French-Arab journal Tel Quel, who was intrigued by the themes of homosexuality she saw in his writing. Taïa, who had not publically come out and feared the repercussions doing so would have on his family and himself in a country where homosexuality continues to be outlawed, nevertheless consented to the interview and subsequent profile, "Homosexuel envers et contre tous" (Homosexual against all odds). This interview made him the first openly gay writer to be published in Morocco.
Another Morocco collects short stories from Taïa's first two books, Mon Maroc (My Morocco) and Le rouge du tarbouche, both published prior to this pivotal moment. In these stories, we see a young author testing the porousness of boundaries, pressuring the terms of private and public identity, and flirting with strategies of revelation and concealment. The narratives draw both from the author's own experience and from a literary imagination nourished by the fiction of Paul Bowles and Mohammed Choukri; the theory of Jean Starobinski; films from India, Egypt, and Hollywood; and stories told to him by the resilient women in his family in moments of intimacy and calm. Caught between cultures, Taïa smuggles images like treasured contraband between these influences, eliciting excitement and discomfort in equal measure. These are tales of life in a working-class Moroccan family, of a maturing writer's often fraught relationship with language and community, and of the many cities and works that have inspired him.
