{"product_id":"men-in-the-sun-and-other-palestinian-stories","title":"Men in the Sun and Other Palestinian Stories","description":"\"Far from being a simple parable, [Men in the Sun] depicts some often hidden aspects of the complex social and political reality of the Palestinians ... and is also a well-told story.... We should not forget the excellent translation of Hilary Kilpatrick which not only manages to preserve the subtle voice of the narrator, but also matches accurately the sober and lucid prose in Arabic for which Kanafani was hugely admired.\"―Samir el-Youssef, Banipal\n\nThis collection of important stories by novelist, journalist, teacher, and Palestinian activist Ghassan Kanafani includes the stunning novella Men in the Sun (1962), the basis of the film The Deceived. Also in the volume are \"The Land of Sad Oranges\" (1958), \"'If You Were a Horse . . .'\" (1961), \"A Hand in the Grave\" (1962), \"The Falcon\" (1961), \"Letter from Gaza\" (1956), and an extract from Umm Saad (1969). In the unsparing clarity of his writing, Kanafani offers the reader a gritty look at the agonized world of Palestine and the adjoining Middle East.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0894108573\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0894108573.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Ghassan Kanafani|Hilary Kilpatrick\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
