Marabout

by

I’ve been away, updating my first two books, Tangier Gardens and Curious Tales. At the same time I was wrapping up my series, “The Landscape Architect”.

Marabout… represents the diaphanous line that separates fact from fiction in the landscape. And that is what challenged, what fascinated CJ in my first two books.

Marabout!? What’s that?

 

Marabout the photo, courtesy of Jean-Claude Latombe (https://ai.stanford.edu/~latombe/mountain/index.htm), is a small part of the mysterious Moroccan landscape. IRL, you see the outside but have no idea what you will find on the inside.

In Tangier Gardens, CJ learned all about marabouts and their arcane insides. He tried to fit those experiences into his American landscape roots—his culture, his education. The result? Strange landscape stories.
