Men in the Sun and Other Palestinian Stories by Ghassan Kanafani

dark emotional reflective sad tense

5.0

from this very short story collection i can very easily understand why Kanafani is a celebrated writer and i know that i need to prioritize reading his other works. this collection was difficult and emotional to read, with such thoughtful writing and prolific sentences and stories. Kanafani focuses on Pales tine but these stories could take any place where there is war, where colonization has a chokehold on people just trying to exist, where people are left to make decisions that they should never be faced with

stunning and mesmerizing
