رجال في الشمس
اظن اني رح اتذكر هذه القصة للابد و رح تبقى بالجزء الخلفي من دماغي تطلع كل مرة للسطح و ترجع تغوص
مع ذلك لست متأكدة اذا كان هذا افضل وقت اقراه فيها او اكثر وقت غلط
لماذا لماذا لم يطرقوا جدران الخزان ؟

أنا أحترم هذا النوع من الكتابة جداً، الذي يعرف متى يسدد ضربته محرجا تقديراتك.

Men in the Sun is a short novel that follows three Palestinian refugees, Abu Qais, Asad and Marwan, as they attempt to cross from Basra to Kuwait.

The situation of the Palestinian people has not changed or even get worse since Men in the Sun was first published. They remain a suffering people, cruelly dispossessed, marginalized, and murdered by the colonizer aka Israel.
