Ghassan Kanafani. About the Writer's Style Formation

Abstract

Ghassan Kanafani’s works are focused on one topic - Palestinian conflict and Palestinian people’s tra­gedy. Edward Said, an acclaimed American writer and Professor of Palestinian origin, writes that national self-consciousness is a claim to belong to a nation and some culture, have a right to feel somewhere “as bet­ween friends”. Strong sense of ethnic and national identity is evident in Ghassan Kanafani’s stories and poems.

Emotional imbalance, feeling of constant despair, loneliness and tragedy, constant return to the past, constant moves in time and space and monologues - everything that is very typical for Ghassan Kanafani.
