A Moroccan in New York ; and Sea Drinkers

By: Youssouf Amine Elalamy

During his 18-year reign as premier of Quebec, Maurice Duplessis dominated the province and shaped it to his image. A brilliant orator and a scathing wit, Duplessis exercised complete control over his caucus and the Cabinet. If he couldn t get a vote, he bought it. Politics was the fuel that drove his life. He died on the job.

Two Novellas by YAE

A Moroccan in New York and Sea Drinkers

By: Youssouf Amine Elalamy

Two Novellas by YAE comprises two works by Youssouf Amine Elalamy, also known as YAE, translated from French into English for the first time. A Moroccan in New York tells the tale of a young man seeking to make sense of two cultures which seemingly could not be more opposite, yet, are on many levels, so much the same. Autobiographical, YAE's story is the compilation of the musings of a young man on a Fulbright grant in New York in the early 1990s. In particular, the work reveals multiple misconceptions and misunderstandings Americans have about Moroccans and, other foreigners. Sea Drinkers is a compelling story that reveals the hurdles faced by Moroccan emigrants who illegally try to cross the slim stretch of water in small boats between Morocco and Spain. The hundreds who attempt the dangerous crossing every year are known as the harraga, which in Arabic means 'the burners.' The Moroccans who embark must literally 'burn' the bridges of their lives (their identity papers and passports), in order to clandestinely infiltrate into the countries across the water. These characters tell the tales of those who become stateless and who, more often than not, die untimely deaths in the waters between two continents (a distance of less than fifteen miles).

C'est beau, la guerre

By: Youssouf Amine ELALAMY

« À l’extérieur, les autres attendaient leur tour et réfléchissaient à ce qu’ils pourraient proposer pour se rendre utile. Je n’avais donc que quelques secondes, une minute tout au plus, pour sauver ma peau. C’est alors que j’eus cette idée venue de je ne sais où. Je levai les yeux sur elle et je dis sans hésiter : — Je sais réparer les vivants. » Contraint à l’exil, chassé de son pays par une guerre fratricide, un jeune comédien embarque sur un rafiot. Placé dans un camp de réfugiés après la traversée, pour soulager la douleur des migrants, il décide de ressusciter les morts...
