Specifikacia Salvation Army Taia
An autobiographical coming-of-age novel by the the "only gay man" in Morocco.An autobiographical novel by turn na ve and cunning, funny and moving, this most recent work by Moroccan expatriate Abdellah Ta a is a major addition to the new French literature emerging from the North African Arabic diaspora. Salvation Army is a coming-of-age novel that tells the story of Ta a's life with complete disclosure--from a childhood bound by family order and latent (homo)sexual tensions in the poor city of Sal , through an adolescence in Tangier charged by the young writer's attraction to his eldest brother, to a disappointing arrival in the Western world to study in Geneva in adulthood. In so doing, Salvation Army manages to burn through the author's first-person singularity to embody the complex m lange of fear and desire projected by Arabs on Western culture. Recently
