Recenzii
Indispensable
Tangier: A Literary Guide for Travellers is a truly dazzling and extraordinary book. A work of literature in its own right, it's the perfect companion for an exotic journey or an armchair afternoon. The kind of book that educates, amuses, and charms with every page, it's one that reveals the magical underbelly of Tangier like nothing else.
Josh Shoemake spent three years in Tangier, hanging out with some of the finest writers resident there, including Paul Bowles. His literary companion is a work of passion and of experience... a fascinating guide.
I've rarely read a guidebook that had a more powerful effect on me.
Brilliant
A wonderfully elegant account of the people and places that have contributed to the exotic allure of Morocco's most exciting city.
A sure-footed guide to the lore and literature of an enigmatic city.
An excellent book.
Engaging... takes the form of a diverting stroll through the city's labyrinthine streets... it is as much about the writers who lived, wrote and looked for love as it is about the streets themselves.
This book is a fantasia of stories and quotes by and about the astonishing number of writers who made their homes there... It's a heady mix of tolerance and vice and is often very funny too... this multi-layered city is brought alive in a marvellously odd, gossipy romp of a book.
