2024
Tangier's iconic bookshop, founded in 1949 and frequented by writers in love with the city such as Tennessee Williams, Jean Genet and Paul Bowles, has also been a landmark for Moroccan authors such as Mohamed Choukri and Tahar Ben Jelloun. Under the management of Rachel Muyal, it became a literary center of international renown until the late 90s. A quartet of French and Moroccan buyers took over the bookshop in 2023. Their ambition is to restore the bookshop to its former glory with a host of events.

Indissociable du Tanger des écrivains voyageurs ayant séjourné à Tanger après la seconde guerre mondiale (Capote, Morand, Genet, Beckett, Williams, Bowles, etc...), la librairie a été fréquentée par Mohamed Choukri et Tahar Ben Jelloun. Elle a bénéficié du soutien financier de Pierre Bergé ce qui lui a évité de disparaître comme hélas beaucoup d'autres libraires "historiques".
