All the men feared her as much as they desired her. The investigation becomes a prism through which a group portrait of a working-class district emerges. In a city buffeted by the Chergui, a violent wind emanating from the Sahara, the investigation becomes a prism through which a group portrait of a working-class district emerges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Casablanca Story, In Koli Jean Bofane trains his razor-sharp observations of a bitter reality and his mordant humor on corruption among the powerful, shady property deals, and the vulnerable situation of migrants and male sexual desire, and he succeeds in transforming a desperate contemporary reality into engrossing and entertaining fiction. Following on from Congo Inc., In Koli Jean Bofane shifts his geographical focus to outline a vision that encompasses both north and sub-Saharan Africans: Africa is moving forward and is the equal of the other continents or, to put it another way, Africa is no better than they are.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 228g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 215 x 139 x 12 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780253058799\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"In Koli Jean Bofane","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095585911034,"sku":"9780253058799","price":16.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1651834279573_book.jpg?v=1651901738","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/casablanca-story-9780253058799","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
