Douglas travels to Gafsa and the oases of the Tunisian south, ostensibly to look at ruins and palms. Instead he records the talk at cafés, the guests at his inn, a mysterious count, the oasis of Leila and long digressions on French colonialism, Arab life, desert landscape and whatever else catches his restless mind.
