Starting with Oscar Wilde and André Gide in the 1890's, for the next 100 years North Africa was to be a favourite destination for gay men seeking a mixture of sea, sand, sunshine and maybe something else.
This book relates the adventures and antics of those gay travellers and expats in the three countries of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia between 1890 and 1990. Much of it is based on their own words given to us in interviews.
Many of the destinations mentioned here along the north African coast were visited by either Wilde, Gide or Genet. But it is Tangier where we spend the most time, since that city was for over fifty years the Mecca of gay travellers.
So as you read, imagine yourself up in the Kasbah of each of the old cities, looking down and seeing what those gays are doing down in the main part of the town. We are sure you will find something of interest.
