Abdullah's Feet

Hafid Bouazza2000
Based on the author's memories of a 'happy village with its own idiot and mosque' in Morocco, these surreal, interlinked stories depict a dreamlike world of spiritual and sexual awakening. The heady imagination of a young boy - peopled by veiled women, suggestive vegetables, malevolent djinns and dismembered war heroes - is set against his cosmopolitan adulthood in Amsterdam, where the prodigal son discovers he can never entirely leave his past behind him.
