Description
A classic of drug literature translated by Paul Bowles "Ah," said Hassan, "I don't believe in the world. There's another world where life is different." These are stories of that world. The word m'hashish (equivalent in Moghrebi of "behashished" or "full of hashish") is used only in a literal sense, but also figuratively, to describe a person whose behavior seems irrational or unexpected. The tales here deal with some of the possible results, desirable and questionable, of being in that state.
Author Bio
Mohammad Mrebet was a friend of Paul Bowles, who encouraged him to write.
