Riassunto

Traces an intense thirty-year relationship between two young men in twentieth-century Tangier, as they struggle to find their identities and sexual fulfillment in late-1950s Morocco, an endeavor that takes them from their carefree university days through a brutal imprisonment and psychologically daunting release into the moral strictures of North Africa. By the author of This Blinding Absence of Light. Reprint. 25,000 first printing.
