Decades ago I made several extended trips to Morocco to satisfy my curiosity. Now, through journal entries and old photographs, I remember it as a time of reflection. Travel is a mirror. While looking out, it is also a time of looking in. This book is an exploration of duality, of light and dark. The light cuts sharply in the desert towns. There are walls and gates through which I was constantly passing. And, I was an outsider, looking in. I was asked by a casual acquaintance I met on the street, "Are you an American? Do you carry a Gun?"
