For Bread Alone by Moroccan Mohamed Choukri

The first work of his autobiographical trilogy was censored as scandalous for more than two decades in Arab countries. 

This is the story of the author’s family, who driven by famine, walk from the Rif to Tangiers in search of a better life. A bildungsroman or coming-of-age autobiography that portrays the early life of one of the most important Moroccan authors.

The distinguished writer Paul Bowles collaborated closely with Mohamed Choukri on the translation of this novel and penned the introduction.

It is undoubtedly one of the essential voices of contemporary Maghrebi literature.
