Set against the backdrop of North Africa, the narrative explores the profound disconnect between Americans and the foreign cultures they encounter. Through the experiences of the characters, Bowles delves into themes of alienation and cultural misunderstanding, illustrating how these dynamics contribute to the erosion of the very cultures that are misinterpreted. The story serves as a poignant reflection on the consequences of cultural ignorance and the fragility of human connections.
