Keeping a Moroccan Tradition Alive, One Tale at a Time - New York Times

Mr. Jabiri is a storyteller, a profession he has practiced for more than 40 years. Every day, he conjures up a real or imagined past that is filled with ancient battles and populated with sinners and prophets, wise sultans and tricky thieves.

The New York Times profiles the storytellers of Jemaa El Fna, who are perhaps the last of their kind.

As a storyteller also, may I commend to you my book, Master of the Jinn: A Sufi Novel, a mystical adventure tale on the Sufi path of Love. I think you'll like it. I wrote it as a story to be read aloud.
You can view the book and read an excerpt at http://www.masterofthejinn.com
In the Name of the Merciful, 10% of all profits go to charity.

Peace and Blessings,
