MOHAMMED MRABET (b. 1936) is a Moroccan author and artist of the Ait Ouriaghel tribe in the Rif region. Although known primarily as a prodigious oral storyteller, Mrabet began making ink drawings in 1958, and later paintings, and his art is held in numerous private collections and institutions. In 1960, he met and become friends with Paul Bowles who taped, transcribed and translated most of Mrabet's stories from the Moghrebi (the Arabic dialect of Morocco) into English, and his works have since appeared in many languages. LOVE WITH A FEW HAIRS (1968), his first novel, is an engrossing story of obsessive love, magic potions and witches' spells that depicts a young Moroccan stranded between two cultures: his native Islamic traditions and values and the European manners of his older lover's expatriate world. Again and again in Mrabet's stories, the tensions between two cultures become clear: they reject themselves like opposite poles and only seldom come together. THE LEMON (1969) is a powerful first-person account of a precocious Moroccan boy who runs away from his home in the Rif Mountains and struggles to retain his native pride in the corrupt and hazardous streets of Tangier. With his characteristic brilliance and streetwise charm, Mrabet develops the novel's ambiguous theme of the necessity of violence to retain one's innocence. M'HASHISH (1969), meaning "behashished" or "full of hashish", is a strange collection of Moroccan tales; as one character puts it: "I don’t believe in the world. There’s another world where life is different." THE BOY WHO SET THE FIRE (1975) is another odd assortment of short tales with a heavy incidence of violence and casual bloodshed. Only a few of these seventeen stories contain humorous touches; most incorporate the sinister horror of dreams while others are largely autobiographical. Violence, characteristic of all of Mrabet's narratives, dominates his imagination in THE BIG MIRROR (1976) like a sustained nightmare, a dark hallucination akin to the kind of horror story some of Edgar Allan Poe's narrators have to tell. The language of Mrabet is a maze like the thousand alleys of the Medina―seductive, but dangerous―and without a guide one can become lost in suggestions and allusions. "A tongue tells a thousand truths, but you always only want to hear one," says Mrabet.
