Look and Move on

Recounts incidents from Mrabet's youth on the streets of Tangier. Starting with the author's adventures as a poor Moroccan boy later taken to the USA by a besotted couple, this culminates in an account of Mrabet's life in the household of Jane and Paul Bowles. With Paul, who is himself one of America's most important contemporary writers, he meets such writers as Tennessee Williams and Christopher Isherwood. As well as being a talented artist, Mrabet has written a number of books with Bowles, which have been published in the U.K., the U.S., and elsewhere.
