Casablanca and Tangier provide the backdrops for Corruption, an
exotic and erotic tale of modern-day morality, reminiscent of
Camus's The Stranger. Mourad is the last honest man in Morocco.
Much to the chagrin of his boss, his colleagues, and his
materialistic wife, he adamantly refuses to accept "commissions"
for his work. But his honesty goes unappreciated. Criticized for
condemning his family to a life of poverty, encouraged by his boss
to be more "flexible", Mourad finally gives in: just one envelope
stuffed with cash, then another... Ben Jelloun's compelling novel
evokes the universal dangers of succumbing to the daily temptations
of modern life, as Mourad lives the consequences of betraying his
own conscience after a lifetime of honesty and resistance.
