Writing Tangier discusses an array of topics relating to the
literature on Tangier from the seventeenth century to the present.
Major questions include: Why has Tangier come to play an important
role in contemporary world literary history as a signifier in the
literary imagination; what is the nature of the inter-textual
output produced through Paul Bowles' translations of the oral tales
of a circle of uneducated storytellers (including Mohammed Mrabet
and Larbi Layachi) and the text (For Bread Alone) brought to Bowles
by the literate Mohamed Choukri; how do academics, artists, and
writers who have been based in the city or who have written about
it assess the various socio-economic, political, and cultural
factors that have shaped its cultural production and the
relationship of this production to the celebrated hybrid aspects of
its identity; does the success of the literature of Tangier reflect
a truly new multicultural cosmopolitanism, or does it stem from the
fact that this literature is congenial to Westerners, that it is
understood in terms that they themselves define, and that much of
it (including productions in Arabic prepared with the expectation
of translation) has even been «written to measure for them?
