		To begin with, Kanafani was an active member of the Arab Nationalist Movement, the forerunner of the PFLP, but later, along with his comrade George Habash, he became a Marxist, believing that the solution to the problems which faced the Palestinians could not be achieved without a social revolution throughout the Arab world.

		Kanafani's stories do more then re-tell the historical chronology his work; indeed, he incorporates a number of themes, which frame the events of the conflict within an understanding of the Palestinian culture.

		Born in Acre in 1936, Kanafani was among the most forthright articulators of the Palestinian experience, describing with a sparse clarity the sense of loss and longing of the Nakba — the short “The Land of Sad Oranges” being perhaps the most poignant.
