Black Fez Manifesto
Hakim Bey

Autonomedia, 2008

New poetic rants and prose poems from the pseudonymous author of TAZ and Millennium , among many other influential, incendiary texts.

Fez Encounter (Best Of)
Virginia Maxwell

Lonely Planet, 2008

What Will Your Fez Encounter Be? …wandering along Talaa Kebira in the crisp morning air as the medina comes to life …listening to an orchestra of coppersmiths hammering their wares in Seffarine Square …escaping the midday heat in the leafy courtyard of a traditional riad ...losing your heart to a pair of leather slippers made by an artisan ...submitting to an invigorating scrub and massage in a tiled and steamy hammam ...watching the ...

The Road to Fez

Ruth Knafo Setton

Counterpoint Press, 2001

the best book I've ever read
This is the kind of book you read as if you're in a dream, and don't want to finish because you know it will be the end of the dream and you don't want to wake up. As soon as I put it down, I wanted to reread it! Then I wished I could enter the world Ruth Knafo Setton created. I felt as if I'd lived in the Morocco of myth and memory that she created, as if I'd taken a voyage through the landscape ...

Traditional Moroccan Cooking: Recipes from Fez (Serif)

1 review
Guinaudeau Z.

Serif Publishing, 2004

Good for the traveller, bad for a cook
this would make a great book to know what you are eating if you went to morocco, it has all the weird ingredients and traditional cooking methods. this is then also its big downfall. the recipies all call for these traditional implements with no substitutions given, the only one people may even have heard of is a tagine. Most of the recipes are catered to serve upwards of ten people with ...

Space and Muslim Urban Life: At the Limits of the Labyrinth of Fez (Culture and Civilization in the Middle ...
Simon O'Meara

Routledge, 2007

This book develops academic understanding of Muslim urban space by pursuing the structural logic of the premodern Arab-Muslim city, or medina. With particular reference to The Book of Walls, an historical discourse of Islamic law whose primary subject is the wall, the book determines the meaning of a wall and then uses it to analyze the space of Fez. One of a growing number of studies to address space as a category of critical analysis, the ...

Hakima a Tragedy In Fez

1 review

Trafalgar Square, 1991

Oh, wow! EXCELLENT!
The back cover describes this as "a wholly unprecedented form of novelistic photojournalism." It's unprecedented, alright. I've never seen anything like it. If you appreciate photography, and/or you're fascinated with psychology, and you have the intellectual curiosity to enjoy a new kind of documentary, buy this book. The last time a book had this strong an effect on me was when I read Dalton ...

Fez: City of Islam (Islamic Texts Society)

2 reviews
Titus Burckhardt

Islamic Texts Society, 1992

Memorable
First things first: I don't know why Amazon has this book listed as written by "Stoddart", presumably William Stoddart. While Mr. Stoddart no doubt had a hand in the book, it is mainly the work of Titus Burckhardt. As anybody who has read anything by Burckhardt already kows, he is one of the most fascinating and perceptive writers on Islamic culture that the West has produced. Before reading ...
