'Tangier, the white city poised atop the dark continent which turns
out to be the continent of light.' Tangier in the 1960s and '70s
was a fabled place. This edge city, the 'Interzone', became muse
and escapist's dream for artists, writers, millionaires and
socialites, who wrote, painted, partied and experienced life with
an intensity and freedom that they never could back home. Into this
louche and cosmopolitan world came John Hopkins, a young writer who
became a part of the bohemian Tangier crowd with its core of Beats
that included William Burroughs, Paul and Jane Bowles and Brion
Gysin, as well as Tennessee Williams, Jean Genet, Yves Saint
Laurent, Barbara Hutton and Malcolm Forbes. Those intoxicating
decades - Tangier's 'Golden Years' - are long gone. Grand old
houses that once sparkled with life are shuttered and dark and most
of the eccentrics who once lived and loved in the city have died.
But here, in the pages of John Hopkins' cult classic, all the
decadence and flamboyance of those days is brought to life once
more.
