Escape to Samarkand

In this autobiographical narrative, Abdellatif Laâbi examines the humanity within him. His ambition: to hide nothing, to avoid nothing, starting with himself. "Escape to Samarkand" is a visceral, unbridled journey through the era he was destined to live, especially its final chapter: the tragedy of the pandemic that faced the world. The question of ephemerality is skillfully approached through the famous tale of the Persian Sufi Farid ad-Din Attar.
