The Official Mohammed Mrabet Website Mohammed Mrabet: 'Marriage with Papers' (1986) Translated by Paul Bowles About the book 'Marriage with Papers' constitutes the latest chapter in the long collaboration between Moroccan storyteller Mrabet and American novelist and translator Paul Bowles. In the title novella, a writer (whose books bear the same titles as Mrabet's) recounts the tribulations of a disastrous union. 'Chico' is a portrait of a wastrel doomed by his own weak character. 'It happened the way it happened,' remarks one character, an apt comment on Mrabet's laconic, minimalist style. Recommended for larger collections of contemporary fiction. -- Grove Koger, Boise P.L., Idaho [This is an uncorrected proof of a review scheduled for Library Journal, May 15, 1986.] Available Editions: First Edition, USA: 'Marriage with Papers' (1986) (Bolinas) Tombouctou Limited, hardcover issue 100 numbered copies signed by Bowles and Mrabet Without dust jacket 'Marriage with Papers' (1986) (Bolinas) Tombouctou Trade Paperback The Official Mohammed Mrabet Website Copyright Notice This page and all related linked pages is the work of The Official Mohammed Mrabet Website and is copyright to Mohammed Mrabet, Simon Hamelin, Josie and David Farmer and contributors This website is online by the personal request and permission of Mohammed Mrabet The Official Mohammed Mrabet Website, ©2007
