About this product
Product Information
From one of the world's great writers, a novel that mirrors the journeys of millions who leave home for a better life In Leaving Tangier , award-winning, internationally bestselling author Tahar Ben Jelloun tells the story of a Moroccan brother and sister making new lives for themselves in Spain. Azel is a young man in Tangier who dreams of crossing the Strait of Gibraltar. When he meets Miguel, a wealthy Spaniard, he leaves behind his girlfriend, his sister, Kenza, and his mother, and moves with him to Barcelona, where Kenza eventually joins them. What they find there forms the heart of this novel of seduction and betrayal, deception and disillusionment, in which Azel and Kenza are reminded powerfully not only of where they've come from, but also of who they really are.

Reviews
"A brave, unflinching look at the issues underlying economic migration from North Africa-and the hard choices people make between roots and wings." - The Economist "[A] penetrating tale." - The New York Times Book Review "Ben Jelloun is arguably Morocco''s greatest living author, whose impressive body of work combines intellect and imagination in magical fusion. . . . Leaving Tangier is a wholly original feat of form and imagination. . . . There is unexpected humour jostling alongside the horror, in magical-realist passages illuminating the clash of traditional and modern." - The Guardian "Artful and compassionate, Leaving Tangier evokes a milieu of self-exile and great expectations." - The Washington Post "Just as John Updike reminded Americans of the guilt and vertigo they sort out between the sheets, Ben Jelloun has chronicled the shame and secrecy surrounding sex in a Morocco of creeping fundamentalism and diminishing opportunity. The explicitness of the sex in his work is powerful and often beautifully erotic; it''s . . . where sex amplifies the degradations of postcolonial economic reality that Leaving Tangier lands like a hammer blow. . . . Leaving Tangier would read like a blunt political instrument . . . were Ben Jelloun not such a wonderfully specific writer. Many scenes of agonizing depravity convey the desperation of poverty. . . . From such bracing particulars, Ben Jelloun fashions political fiction of great urgency." -John Freeman, Bookforum "Tahar Ben Jelloun lifts the veil on an astounding world of a thousand and one nights." - Le Point "Of the thirty books Tahar Ben Jelloun has written, this is undoubtedly one of the most courageous." - Le Monde des Livres, Tahar Ben Jelloun lifts the veil on an astounding world of a thousand and one nights.” —Le Point Of the thirty books Tahar Ben Jelloun has written, this is undoubtedly one of the most courageous.” —Le Monde des Livres, "A brave, unflinching look at the issues underlying economic migration from North Africa-and the hard choices people make between roots and wings." - The Economist "[A] penetrating tale." - The New York Times Book Review "Ben Jelloun is arguably Morocco's greatest living author, whose impressive body of work combines intellect and imagination in magical fusion. . . .

Book was listed as 'very good' condition, but when it arrived the cover had stains, creases and folds, and a small tear on one edge. It was packaged ok and the packaging was not damaged, so this was not something that happened during shipping. I messaged them and they replied quickly and instructed me to initiate a return through eBay. I was refunded the full price in less than an hour. Great customer service!
