| Description: | Select Guide Rating A visceral collection about life on the margins by cult Moroccan feminist icon. Malika Moustadraf is a cult feminist icon in contemporary Moroccan literature, celebrated for her uncompromising depiction of life on the margins. Something Strange, Like Hunger presents Moustadraf''s collected short fiction: haunting, visceral stories by a master of the genre. Here, we tune into Casablanca''s unheard: a sex worker struggling to keep warm on the streets; a housewife flirting with strangers online; a kidney patient, priced-out of treatment, facing the harsh reality of his condition; and a mother scheming to ensure her daughter passes a virginity test. Something Strange, Like Hunger is a sharp provocation to patriarchal power, and a celebration of the life and genius of one of Morocco''s preeminent writers. |
