Abdellatif Laâbi and translator André Naffis-Sahely read from Laâbi’s novel The Bottom of the Jar in its first English translation, and Laâbi reads a list of advice, wisdoms and aspirations for new writers.
The Bottom of the Jar recreates Laâbi’s childhood city of Fez, Morocco, through Nanoussa, his semi-fictional kindred spirit. It holds the energy of the final days of the French occupation, and the path to liberation.
More lectures, readings, and conversations from the Mosaic Rooms’ archive will be broadcast every month on Radio AlHara. Over the next few months, we’re digging through our recorded archives and sharing some of the voices that have echoed inside our rooms. As we step into a short pause and a moment of transformation, we want to celebrate all that has come before this next chapter. We stay connected on the airwaves.
