Death bed number 12

Author: Ghassan Kanafani Category: Short stories and Novels Publisher: Dar Al-Taqwa Number of pages: 221 Format: Paperback cover Book summary: It is customary for a writer's first production to obtain a "passage" for the reader... A word from a famous pen tops the book... or brief sentences on the back cover, or a wide promotional campaign involving the writer, the publisher, and friends of both parties, telling how stories were created, how the wounded pen bled them, and how... and how... I believe that the book should introduce itself, and if it fails to achieve part of the writer's ambition, then the writer should simply accept that, just as—time and again—they tore stories to rewrite them... or wrote others... And so "Death of Bed Number 12," pushes her to carve her way, if she can find her way to the beginning of the road, on her own, without "intercession" and without "mediation" and without "passage."
