All that's left to you : a novella and short stories

Ghassān Kanafānī (Author), May Jayyusi (Translator), Jeremy Reed (Translator), Roger Allen (Writer of introduction)
"All that's Left to You presents the story of twenty-four hours in the real and remembered lives of a brother and sister living in Gaza and separated from their family. The desert and time emerge as characters as Kanafani speaks through the desert, the brother, and the sister to build the rhythm of the narrative. The Palestinian attachment to land and family, and the sorrow over their loss, are symbolized by the young man's unremitting anger and shame over his sister's sexual disgrace."--Dust jacket
