Algiers Third World Capital by Elaine Mokhtefi Book PDF Summary

Mokhtefi (ne Klein), a Jewish American from Long Island, has had an exhilarating life.

Half a century later, as an eighty-nine-year-old painter living on the Upper West Side, Mokhtefi still seasons her prose with the argot of revolution.
