Choukri's Tangier is a place where newborns are for sale, swindlers hawk the Prophet's shoes, and boys collect trash to sell for food. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Choukri says that \"writing is a protest, not a parade.\" And in these thirty-one stories he privileges the voices of those ignored by society: the abused, the abandoned, the addicted. The tales are at once vibrant local vignettes and profound reflections on the lives, sufferings, and hopes of Choukri's fellow Tangerines.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Tales of Tangier: The Complete Short Stories of Mohamed Choukri | Mohamed Choukri | Paperback | 9780300251357 | New | Fiction 1557207","offer_id":50579135693058,"sku":"1557207","price":35.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/61AeMFvBbnL.jpg?v=1790959000","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/tales-of-tangier-the-complete-short-stories-of-mohamed-choukri","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
