{"product_id":"makbara","title":"Juan Goytisolo: Makbara [1993] paperback","description":"In Arabic,  the word 'Makbara' refers to those parts of North African cemeteries where young couples go to get away from their elders and hang out.   A celebration of Amour Fou, Makbara reveals Goytisolo's deep love for Arabic culture seen as sensuous and lewd in contrast to the drab sterility of the West. In a series of scenes, pastiches and travelling shots, Goytisolo exposes  cultural, sexual and political oppression. The author's message is of liberation through sex which, as he says, 'is above all freedom'.","brand":"Goytisolo, Juan \u0026 Lane, Helen","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":50603443323219,"sku":"XV81852422660","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/goytisolo-juan-lane-helen-makbara-xv81852422660-1149007833.jpg?v=1742338535","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/makbara","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
