The land of the sad orange

The land of the sad orange draws in its different stories the multiple faces of the Palestinian tragedy, as if it wants the story to be a mirror of reality and memory, and the language to be a collection of various curves in front of human suffering embodied in this mirror. The land of the sad orange is Kanfani's second attempt to establish his creative vision of the Palestinian horizon that he seeks to draw with his words. And the horizon comes mixed with memory, as if the Palestinian cannot free himself from his memory in moments of awe before the tragedy, or as if this memory will be the gateway through which he will cross to discover the only possible path to himself.
