Synopsis
These four stories have much in common with each other: all take place in Morocco, all involve kif smoking, and all epitomize Paul Bowles's concerns both in his life and his writing. An American expatriate who felt most at home in the culture of North Africa, Bowles settled into the life there in the 1930s, and often used it as a setting. In these stories, kif-smoking is seen as a doorway to understanding, but also as a potential problem (and often a comical one) when it interferes with everyday life. The stories here are "A Friend of the World," "The Wind at Beni Midar," "He of the Assembly," and "The Story of Lahcen and Idir." The collection was originally published in 1962. Its title comes from the book's epigraph, a Moroccan proverb: "A pipe of kif before breakfast gives a man the strength of one hundred camels in the courtyard." It is accepted as truth that Bowles wrote these stories while himself under the influence.
