3.5

This collection of short story has this absurd yet lightheaded delivery that I have enjoyed where you can sense and read how authentic he portrayed how your day to day conversation in a cafĂ© goes with the banter and unseriousness recounting what sound like the most unbelievable stories! 
Fouad Laroui also made sure to adress some issues like identity, language barriers, religious trauma and social hierarchy that occur to both the diaspora and the Moroccans who live in their homeland.
