Kanafani is the most emotional writer I have ever come across. His descriptions are so vivid, and so empathy-evoking, that you cannot be unmoved reading it.

The narrative style of the title story is very experimental and at times slightly confusing, but never distracting from the story, and the voice of the desert adds an rare dimension to the tale. The other stories in the collection aren't as palestine-centric as Men in the Sun or The Land of Sad Oranges, but nevertheless transports you to the Middle-east that he knew, among the troubles and suffering of common men and women, and reflecting his compassion for their struggles.

I would recommend it to any fan of literature, particularly resistance or middle-eastern; your bookshelf is not complete without it.
