Jajouka Rolling Stone: A Fable of Gods and Heroes Reviews:
Odd 
1999-11-05 - I wish this book had not been done as a novel, but rather as a report of an actual trip. I don't know why it wasn't, since it seems to have been based on one. Anyway, I never felt much for this narrator, who goes wandering around smoking hash and matter-of-factly looking up Brion Gysin (who for some reason keeps letting him in) whenever he happens to be in Morocco. In the end he manages to take a completely fascinating cultural and musical world and figure out little about it. What was the point? I still don't know. Those interested in Jajouka would be best served listening to its music instead.
Capitalism ruins ancient tribal musicians village
1998-08-04 - I thought I might be the only person to consider the role of money in the fighting that broke up the peaceful village.
The writer is loose with the facts and down right inaccurate in my case. I should know I was there.
