Book Reviews of the Gay Travels in the Muslim World
Customer Review: Useful Reading
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a selection of 18 articles, varying considerably in length, quality, and richness of information. While one should expect accounts of real travels, events, and people, some of the articles are pure fiction. This is unfortunately the case of the only article on Israel, involving two teenagers: an Israeli soldier and an Arab boy (written by an American, carrying BA and MA degrees).
The title leads to think that a balanced "sample" of the Muslim world would be given. However, most of the artciles deal with the Middle East, with the lion's share going to Morroco with 4 articles.
The most surprising and informative is the article on Afghanistan (by the Editor), the funniest is the one on Oman, the most erotic is the one on Iraq (fiction??), and the most romantic is the on on Turkey.
The book is certainly informative, entertaining, and at times erotic.
All in all, it gives a good and useful background information, focussing in many articles on the importance of the cultural differences beween Western and Muslim societies. This, I think is a very helpful point for those who intend to travel to a Muslim country.
