- Summary:
- In her latest collection of essays Lieve Joris writes of West Africa's Senegal, Mauritania and Mali, countries troubled by drought, rebel uprising and ethnic conflict. Central to the collection is Malinese blues singer Boubacar Traore. With her gift for drawing stories out of people, Joris paints a hauntingly intimate portrait of the singer and his world. Traore's story is interwoven with tales of others Joris meets in the region: fascinating individuals charting new ways of living between tradition and modernity.
- Lieve Joris is one of Europe's leading travel writers. She has written widely acclaimed accounts of her travels in Hungary, the Middle East and Africa. The Gates of Damascus, an account of her time spent in Syria, is published in English by Lonely Planet Journeys.
