In this stunning work of historical fiction, Laila Lalami brings us the imagined memoirs of the first black explorer of Americaa Moroccan slave whose testimony was left out of the official record.
Anthony Idmalk was born in Benguerir, Morocco in 1980. He immigrated to the United States in 2004 to New York. His passion is painting, but he also is very interested in the art of music. He has exhibited his art in the Chelsea area of New York and has worked at the New York Metropolitan Museum. His art is influenced by his Moroccan culture and many artists he has been introduced to since he began painting at the age of 7.
