Casablanca Notebook: A Collection of Tales from Morocco

Morocco! Out of the Orient, into Africa... Vignettes of Life and Adventure... A War Correspondent’s Story... Casablanca Notebook is a lively collection of tales about the adventures and misadventures of Americans, Europeans and Moroccans in that storied city and country. In some vignettes the capers of local characters are imbued with rascality; in others one observes the sometimes hilarious, sometimes heart-rending adventures of Americans abroad. The longest tale tells of the author's experience as the only female correspondent covering the War in the Sahara. Confronted by centuries of anti-feminist tradition, she summoned up bare-faced bravura and wily tricks of diplomacy to get her dispatches out. Twenty-three original line drawings by the author depict Moroccan subjects from camels to casbahs!
