باب الليل

The novel takes place in a café in Tunisia used for picking up men, where women sell pleasure to frustrated souls. The café becomes a place that lays bare Tunisian society and the failings of the Arab world: starting from fleeting love affairs, the characters talk about the great questions, Palestine among them, and about the Arab reality, while the people in between are always the losers, crushed by regimes that break everything they can to stay in power.
