I thought this book was very well written and the story was interesting though a bit wordy. To me, the book felt like an extended short story. Overall, I really enjoyed the book, and that the author signed it was so nice and unexpected. (  ) aeisen | Jul 29, 2013 |  Recensionen skriven för LibraryThing Member Giveaways. I won this book from the author on LibraryThing...and it was a signed copy too! Thank you! This book is about an Iraqi on vacation in Morocco and all the people he meets and places he goes and the woman he falls in love with. Overall I enjoyed the book. It held my interest, was a fast-paced story and really picked up at the end with some added intrigue. Some of the reading was difficult to decipher due to the fact that this book was translated into English. ( ) PrettyTarantula | Jul 17, 2013 | Recensionen skriven för LibraryThing Member Giveaways. I do have to admit that I expected the book to be more offensive being that the writer was imprisioned, then had to leave the country to write, and the book was banned. It was a intriguing book and well written but a little wordy for my taste. ( ) RussoFamily1207 | Jul 15, 2013 | Recensionen skriven för LibraryThing Member Giveaways. I won Ben Barka Lane through LibraryThing's member giveaways. Many thanks to the publisher for sending it to me.I was very excited to read this. There's definitely an intriguing back story to it, but it wasn't quite as outrageous as I expected, being a banned book. But I suppose that's just down to cultural differences. Anyway, this was an engrossing read. Sharqi was an interesting and highly accessible protagonist. Saeed is a wonderful author. I'd love to read more of his works in the future.

FIRST ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF AWARD-WINNING NOVEL BANNED IN IRAQ. In Ben Barka Lane we see the Morocco of the late 1960s through the eyes of a young political exile from Iraq--its beauty and misery, its unforgettable people. In this contemporary classic, Mahmoud Saeed offers us a unique portrait of a time and place, and a tale of the passion, politics, vengeance, and betrayal that take place there. "A landmark of the modern Arab novel," in the words of one critic, Ben Barka Lane is now, at last, in English translation, as compelling today as when first published.
