FIRST ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF AWARD-WINNING NOVEL BANNED IN IRAQ. In Ben
Barka Lane we see the Morocco of the late 1960s through the eyes of a
young political exile from Iraq--its beauty and misery, its
unforgettable people. In this contemporary classic, Mahmoud Saeed offers
us a unique portrait of a time and place, and a tale of the passion,
politics, vengeance, and betrayal that take place there. "A landmark of
the modern Arab novel," in the words of one critic, Ben Barka Lane is
now, at last, in English translation, as compelling today as when first
published.
