This is a story written entirely with water.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It should be read the way one drinks tea, sip by sip, to get the full flavor and avoid burning one\u2019s tongue. It opens with some men who spend their lives leaving their home and ends with a woman who attends her own birth. A young woman of great beauty, with a fragrant name and long silken hair. In this story, there\u2019s also an old man who never dies, not even towards the end when words are growing scarce. The very first time, we see him sitting under a tree that constantly changes color and never bears the same fruit twice.<\/p>\n

\n

Elalamy\u2019s tale has the spare incantation of myth along with violent modern poetic image\u2014 we\u2019re there with him in the desert. And Liechty\u2019s translation deftly captures the sinuous rhythms of the original French.

Youssouf Amine Elalamy\u2019s\u00a0Nomad Love<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is a haunting novel reminiscent of the classic narratives of Middle Eastern and Near Eastern story-telling, from the seminal\u00a0A Thousand and One Nights<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0to the mystical quests, magical dreams, and elusive word games of Tahar Ben Jelloun (e.g.,\u00a0La Pri\u00e8re de l\u2019absent<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0L\u2019Ecrivain public<\/em><\/strong>), Abdelk\u00e9bir Khatibi\u2019s obsession with bilingualism and creative palimpsests, and the increasingly important corpus of writing by contemporary Moroccan women poets.\u00a0 Elalamy\u2019s oneiric fable is a prose poem about love and mortality that leaves the reader dazzled and intrigued.\u00a0 Thanks to John Liechty\u2019s excellent translation, Elalamy\u2019s tale will now inform and delight English-language readers and broaden international awareness of the continuing multilingual richness of Moroccan literature today.\u00a0
