Abstract

Canetti did not publish The Voices of Marrakesh, based on notes written in London after a three-week trip made in March 1954, until 1968. Frequently discussed as a (post)colonial travelogue or as a disguised homage to the open-minded hippie city of the 1960s, it can be more plausibly understood as an exercise in authorial self-discovery. Canetti was looking for traces of his heritage and turns central poetical terms into narrative rather than theorising them. In detailed discussion of unpublished drafts and notes in the Nachlass the article shows that he could have produced a very different, perhaps more traditional and, at any rate on a personal level, more problematic book.
