La modesta calle del Perd n es una peque a v a de Marrakech y es en ella donde crece la narradora de esta historia, Hayat («la vida , en rabe). El barrio es pobre y en l solo prospera la mezquindad, como si fuera una jungla s rdida, algo que Hayat sufre en primera persona: todo el mundo hace comentarios envenenados sobre su cabello rubio, su madre no oculta su verg enza y su padre siempre la mira con gesto endiablado. Aunque todas estas dificultades deber an haber hecho mella en esta ni a, la vida acaba siendo indestructible. Hayat se escapa de casa y conoce a Mamyta, la bailarina oriental m s importante del reino, una especie de geisha de Marrakech: cantante, maestra, amante. Una mujer tan denigrada como admirada que es supuestamente libre en un pa s anclado en el tab y la prohibici n y que est presente en todos los festejos, en todas las bodas y celebraciones religiosas, pero tambi n en los cabarets populares m s desconocidos. Hayat descubre junto a ella que con el canto y el baile, una mezcla lasciva y sagrada, se puede hacer desaparecer la melancol a, volver locos a los hombres, imponer la gracia a la hostilidad y, a fin de cuentas, forjarse un destino propio. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The new novel by Mahi Binebine, Prix M diterran e 2020. From the author who dazzled the Nobel Prize winner Le Cl zio and won the Arab Book Award."An ode to modernity and the fight for freedom." -Afrique Magazine The modest Street of Forgiveness is a small street in Marrakech and it is on thisstreet where the narrator of this story, Hayat ("life," in Arabic) grows up. The neighborhood is poor and only spite thrives, as if it were a sordid jungle, something that Hayat suffers first-hand: everyone makes poisoned comments about her blond hair, her mother does not hide her shame and her father always looks at her with a devilish glare.
Although all these difficulties should have taken their toll on this girl, life ends up being indestructible. Hayat runs away from home and meets Mamyta, the kingdom's most important oriental dancer, a kind of geisha from Marrakech: singer, teacher, lover. A woman so denigrated as she is admired that she's supposedly free in a country anchored in taboo and prohibition and who is present in all festivities, in all weddings and religious celebrations, but also in the most hidden, working-class cabarets. Together with her, Hayat discovers that with song and dance, a lascivious and sacred mixture, melancholy can disappear, drive men crazy, impose grace on hostility and, ultimately, forge a destiny of their own.
