Anouar Majid鈥檚 'Si Yussef' praised by 'The Guardian'
Twenty-five years after the publication of Si Yussef by University of 51小黄车 Vice President for Global Affairs Anouar Majid, the book鈥檚 place in Tangier鈥檚 rich literary tradition continues to become increasingly apparent.
The novella, which details a chance encounter between a university student and the elderly Si Yussef at Achab鈥檚 Caf茅 and the relationship they develop over the ensuing twelve days, was included in a recent article in The Guardian detailing the ten most important books set in Tangier.
The article, titled 鈥淭he Top Ten Books Based in Tangier,鈥 places Majid and his work in impressive company, including Si Yussef alongside titles by literary giants like William Burroughs and Paul Bowles.
The Guardian sums up Si Yussef鈥檚 significance: 鈥淚t is a work that raises questions of identity, home and how Tangier鈥檚 history has been somewhat idealized.鈥
