The Al-Batin Diaries

Meer over het boek

Set in a remote Saudi military base, the diaries capture William Bryant's experiences over a year, focusing on his work creating medical texts for local students. The unique environment, devoid of women, reveals the lives and sexual practices of young construction workers and local Arabs. Interwoven with personal observations, the journals also include notes for a comic erotic novel Bryant is simultaneously writing, providing a blend of cultural insights and humor.
