Description: It should come as no surprise to learn that Palestinian writers themselves have been in the forefront of those who have addressed themselves to the tragedy of their own people and in a variety of genres and styles. While all these writers display a sense of 'commitment to the cause of their people there is one author who in the words of the Egyptian writer Yusuf Idris has taken this cause to the utmost limit of martyrdom: Ghassan Kanafani. From the introduction by Roger Allen All That's Left to You presents the vivid story of twenty - four hours in the real and remembered lives of a brother and sister living in Gaza and separated from their family. The desert and time emerge as characters as Kanafani speaks through the desert the brother and the sister to build the powerful rhythm of the narrative. The Palestinian attachment to land and family and the sorrow over their loss are symbolized by the young man's unremitting anger and shame over his sister's sexual disgrace. This collection of stories provides evidence to the English - reading public of Kanafani's position within modern Arabic literature. Not only was he committed to portraying the miseries and aspirations of his people the Palestinians in whose cause he died but he was also an innovator within the extensive world of Arabic fiction.
