"Pages From Cole Point is a milestone volume of stores by one of the most distinguished writers in contemporary literature. Their setting is North Africa, the author's adoptive home, a sanguine, enigmatic environment where Western influences float like oil on the older, deeper waters of more primitive cultures, never truly altering or disrupting them.
