An edge city, poised at the northernmost tip of Africa, just nine miles across the Strait of Gibraltar from Europe & overlooking both the Mediterranean & the Atlantic, Tangier is more than a destination, it is an escape, & the Interzone, as William Burroughs called it, has attracted spies, outlaws, outcasts & writers for centuries
- men & women working out at the edge of literary forms, breaking through artistic borders. This outlaw originality is what most astonishes when encountering the literary history of Tangier for the first time. Particularly in the past century, the results were some of the most incendiary & influential books of our time, the most prominent being Burroughs` Naked Lunch & Paul Bowles` The Sheltering Sky. The list of ”edge” writers who were drawn to Tangier is long, among them Ibn Battuta, Samuel Pepys, Alexandre Dumas, Mark Twain, Edith Wharton, Walter Harris, Jean Genet, Paul & Jane Bowles, Tennessee Williams, William Burroughs, Brion Gysin, Patricia Highsmith, Jack Kerouac, Truman Capote, Gore Vidal, Allen Ginsberg, Alfred Chester, Joe Orton, & Mohamed Choukri.

From the 17th century, it has been a place on the edge, beyond the normal disciplines of government, a city of refuge & excitements where sex is cheap, drugs are plentiful & where the outcasts of the world can breathe easily. The golden years of Tangier began after World War I & barely survived World War II. Among those who sought sanctuary in or inspiration from this legendary city were Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Paul & Jane Bowles, Ronnie Kray, the unhappy Woolworth heiress, Barbara Hutton, Tennessee Williams, Joe Orton, Cecil Beaton & Truman Capote. It is this `last resort of the living dead, alive but not madly kicking` which Iain Finlayson explores in his witty, enthralling book. ...
