Westerners have been fascinated by Morocco since the middle of the 19th century. The country's vivid colors, dramatic light, and sensuous labyrinthine medinas drew painters; its exotic culture drew a generation of anglophone writers in the first half of the 20th century who thought that Morocco was a land of illicit pleasures and dubious mores.
