Tangier, in the early 1990s: Young Moroccans gather regularly in a seafront cafe to gaze at the lights on the Spanish coast glimmering in the distance. Facing a future with few prospects in a country they feel has failed them, their disillusionment is matched only by their desire to reach this paradise - so close and yet so far, not least because of the treacherous waters separating the two countries and the frightening stories they hear of the fates of would-be illegal emigrants. A young man called Azel is intent upon leaving one way or another. At the brink of despair he meets Miguel, a wealthy Spanish gallery-owner, who promises to take him to Barcelona if Azel will become his lover. Seeing no other solution, and although he has a girlfriend to whom he is promised, Azel agrees to Miguel's proposition and thus begins a different kind of hell for the young Moroccan - shame and self-disgust at his own helplessness gradually overcome him and he finds himself once more in a hopeless situation. Azel and others like him, including his sister, begin to wonder if the reality of life in Europe will live up to their dreams.

In his study of the Tangier expatriate community, Michael K. Walonen analyzes the representations of French and Spanish Colonial North Africa by Paul Bowles, Jane Bowles, William Burroughs, Brion Gysin, and Alfred Chester during the end of the colonial era and the earliest days of post-independence. The conceptualizations of space in these authors' descriptions of Tangier, Walonen shows, share common components: an attention to the transformative potential of the conflict sweeping the region; a record of the power relations that divided space along lines of gender and ethnicity, including the spatial impact of the widespread sexual commerce between Westerners and natives; a vision of the Maghreb as a land that can be dominated or imposed on as a kind of frontier space; an expression of anxieties about the specters of Cold War antagonisms; and an embrace of the underlying logic of the market to the culture of the Maghreb. Counterbalancing the depictions of Tangier by Westerners who sought to reconcile their nostalgia for the colonial order with their support of native demands for independent governance is Walonen's extended analysis of the contrasting sense of place found in the writings of native Moroccan authors such as Mohammed Choukri, Tahar Ben Jelloun, and Anouar Majid. In its focus on Tangier and the larger Maghreb as a lived environment situated at a particular spatial and temporal crossroads, Walonen's study makes an important contribution to the fields of urban, transatlantic, and postcolonial studies.

Includes: Along For the Ride: Kerrie and Karl both race for the same cab and agree to share. Their subconscious selves ride along, so the audience hears what they say to each other and what they are actually thinking throughout this charming comedy about love at first sight that just takes a while to blossom. ** A Low-Lying Fog:Brotherly love is put to the test as Phil and Greg try to determine what really happened on a day that forever changed their lives. This story of awful mistakes made by good people ¿ and the love that redeems such errors ¿ unfolds as the two men directly address the audience.**Blueberry Waltz:One week after an accident in a Pennsylvania coal mine that trapped men underground, a miner's wife is afraid to move on with life even though her husband was uninjured. His playful, even silly attempts fail to alleviate her obsessive terror. When she says what she really thought during his ordeal, her honesty strengthens their relationship. As a favorite song plays on the radio, they dance and know that they can face the future. ** The Ferry: A pick-up line ("Are you from Staten Island?") turns metaphysical as a woman from Iowa tries to explain how the world works to an insulated Staten Island native. As she speaks, she reveals her prejudices while he, though limited in perception and worldliness, displays the ability to accept what he sees and meet others on equal footing. The Ferry was commissioned by a benefit for families of busboys, dishwashers and other non-salaried restaurant workers in the World Trade Center. **Leaving Tangier:Cooper, an American expatriate poet, has traveled from Tangier to a rural Southern town with the ashes of Oswin Everett Pickett, a famous writer and notorious gay figure who had been living in northern Africa. Pickett left specific instructions that there be no religious observance when his ashes were returned to America, but his great niece and the local preacher are determined to give him a ¿good Methodist funeral.¿ Pickett¿s great nephew, a young man obsessed with the notorious man¿s works, urges Cooper to tell him about his deceased relative. In return, Cooper suggests that the young man should come to Tangier with him. ** Quick and Dirty (A Subway Fantasy): This steamy and provocative wake-up call for daydreamers toys with a potential liaison on a subway platform. There¿s an attractive woman and a good-looking man. Eyes meet. The attraction is obvious, but where does fantasy end and reality begin.
