Summary:
"Azzedine Downes moves
between
cultures
, places, and time in this wryly comedic, at times mysterious, and always curious memoir of a lifelong nomad. The best strategy was to drink tea, smile, and enjoy the frustration of not knowing where the story leads. If time is endless, why rush to the point of a story? A labyrinth of tales as complex as its namesake dish, 'The
Couscous
Chronicles
' is for anyone who believes that the only real failure is to remain unchanged and in place, that true
love
is always a blind leap, and that a good story over a cup of tea holds the power to change one's destiny."--Back cover.
