	Love Beneath the Gallows - New York Times
		The found manuscript is Alphonse's record of his 66 days in the Sierra Morena, and, despite the Tunisian sisters' caution about wasting time on stories, the novel turns out to be nothing other than the stories told to Alphonse day after day by those he encounters in the mountains.
		In Europe he found nothing but "troubles"; he hoped for repose "in tranquil and peaceful Asia." The troubles of Europe would certainly have weighed on a Polish nobleman at the end of the 18th century, when nobles were executed en masse during the Reign of Terror in France and Potocki's homeland disappeared from the map.
		Poland is barely mentioned in "The Manuscript," but its national destiny is obviously implicated when Potocki envisions a nation of Moors that have survived in underground caves since they lost their land in the conquest of Granada.

		He spends a traumatic night at a vacant inn, and instead of moving on to grander adventures, he is compelled to dally with an ever-increasing flock of madmen, mystics and gypsies, most of them claiming to have had similar experiences at the devilish hotel.
		I was left wanting more of the most delightful tales, like that of Rebecca, a nice Jewish girl with two immortal husbands, or that of Zato, a bandit whose once-beautiful mother neglected him in order to brew vast pots of ink.
		Without giving anything away, Dunford has instilled a moral in "Manuscript." Still, that moral is overwhelmed by the stories that make up Alphonse's story, which are persuasive of nothing greater than their own power to enchant.
