Men in the Sun

Men in the Sun is the first novel written by Ghassan Kanafani, published in 1963 in Beirut. The novel describes the effects of the Nakba in 1948 on the Palestinian people through four models of different generations, and it presents the Palestinian in the form of the refugee, which Ghassan Kanafani develops in his two subsequent novels "What’s Left of You" where he presents the Palestinian/fedayee, and "Return to Haifa".
