Meryem Alaoui's Straight from the Horse's Mouth : A fiercely enjoyable feminist fairytale

Even though Meryem Alaoui's debut novel "Straight from the Horse's Mouth" centres on a female character working in a field – sex work – that is often, at least in Arabic literature, linked to Morocco, it does so with humour, warmth, and a tumbling, cartwheeling taste for the fantastic.
