«El pan a secas» is the autobiographical novel by Mohamed Chukri, published by Editorial Cabaret Voltaire in paperback (272 pages, in Spanish).
Set in the Rif during a time of famine, it follows a boy, Mohamed, who escapes his father's brutality and survives on the streets of Tangier and Tetouan. Amid hardship, violence and sex, his coming-of-age becomes a stark portrait of misery in Morocco.
It is the first instalment of Chukri's autobiographical trilogy, originally published in 1973 as Al-jubz al-hafi; this Spanish edition corresponds to the author's revised version.
Aimed at fans of contemporary Maghrebi fiction and unflinching autobiographies.
