Novella by Chantal James. James received a Fulbright fellowship in creative writing that allowed her to live in Morocco researching and writing this work. "I hate how quiet it's ke pt that Chantal James is one of the most brilliant writers writing. I read Fes Is a Mirror faithfully, amazed at the level of skill, of world-creation, and of wisdom contained within its pages. James is so careful with her characters, no matter how reckless their situations. She's so intentional with her language and every sentence is delicious. It's the kind of book you throw across the room because it pierces your heart, but you pick back up again and cradle because it's so beautiful. No lie: Fes Is a Mirror is a masterwork." -- Robert Jones, Jr., author of The Prophets, finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction Show more
