The African Shore - Rodrigo Rey Rosa

Guatemalan writer influenced by Paul Bowles.
A strange story set in Morocco. A strange narrative that intertwines many unusual local characters with a stranded Columbian tourist (stranded, but kind of willingly).  There is also an injured owl.  Not quite sure what it all adds up to, but it is a good read.  An undercurrent of violence, perversions, desperation and walking on the wild side.  Gives a feel for the life of the community and the streets.
