«Makbara» is the novel by Spanish writer Juan Goytisolo, published by Seix Barral in paperback (222 pages, in Spanish).
In the Marrakech souk, a storyteller gathers his listeners to tell a love tale of shifting settings, starring a fallen angel expelled from the paradise of orthodoxy and today's dogmatic world. The novel reflects on identity, exile, and the clash between cultures with fragmented, experimental prose.
The first edition dates from 1980; the 1995 edition was published in the Biblioteca Breve collection.
Aimed at readers of literary fiction and contemporary Spanish narrative, particularly those who follow the work of Juan Goytisolo.
