Tangier: A Literary Guide for Travellers by Josh Shoemake, as published in a 2nd edition softcover by I. B. Taurus (London, England) in 2018.

This is a history of modern Tangier through literature, with many references to William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin throughout. 

Two images of Burroughs, by Allen Ginsberg and Charles Gatewood, are in this book.

From the rear cover: " An edge city, poised at the northernmost tip of Africa but just nine miles from Europe, Tangier is more than a destination, it is an escape. The Interzone, as William Burroughs called it, has attracted spies, outlaws, outcasts and writers for centuries – men and women breaking through artistic borders. The results were some of the most incendiary and influential books of our time and the list of outlaw originals is long, stretching from Ibn Battuta and Alexandre Dumas to Twain and Wharton and from the darkly brilliant Beats of Bowles, Kerouac, Gysin and Ginsberg to the great Moroccan novelists: Mohamed Choukri, Mohammed Mrabet, and Tahar Ben Jelloun."
