Algeria
Books in this genre are set in or about Algeria.
Algeria is a North African country with a Mediterranean coastline and a Saharan desert interior. Many empires have left legacies here, such as the ancient Roman ruins in seaside Tipaza. In the capital, Algiers, Ottoman landmarks like circa-1612 Ketchaoua Mosque line the hillside Casbah quarter, with its narrow alleys and stairways. The city’s Neo-Byzantine basilica Notre Dame d’Afrique dates to French colonial rule.

Now I give this rascal weight from off my head
The pride of a streetborn artist from off my chest
With my own hands I renounce my earthly claims
With my own sins I ink this very book
In this vaudevillian theater we’ve all had our plays
Of wisdom, folly, love songs and lamentations of twin flames

You think about bathing in the sea – thick as velvet, supple and smooth as a wild animal. You think about swimming naked, and at night, with the stars, and a friend. Swim till you’re far from the world, and breathing together in the same rhythm, and free of absolutely everything.
