My son Luc is slated to graduate from college in late January after the conclusion of a 15-day study abroad trip to Morocco. Unfortunately, that trip is looking less and less likely to happen because of renewed pandemic fears. If the trip gets canceled, he'd have to complete some kind of paper/project in its place. I'm wondering if anyone could recommend any Moroccan novels or non-fiction books (or even a film or two) that could possibly form a partial basis for his research. I'm already familiar with Tahar Ben Jelloun and Fatima Mernissi, but that's about it when it comes to Moroccan authors. I also know some of Paul Bowles' books are set in Morocco, but those seem to focus more on the expat experience. I'd appreciate any suggestions that I could pass on to Luc, especially any books/films that delve more deeply into Moroccan culture and/or contemporary history. Thanks!
