Land of Sad Oranges depicts, in its various stories, the multiple facets of the Palestinian tragedy, as if it wanted the story to be a mirror of reality and memory, and for language to be a collection of multiple bends before the human pain embodied in this mirror. Land of Sad Oranges is Ghassan Kanafani's second attempt to establish his creative vision of the Palestinian horizon, which he seeks to depict with his words. The horizon comes mixed with memory, as if the Palestinian cannot free himself from his memory in moments of astonishment in the face of the tragedy, or as if this memory will be the gateway through which he will pass to where he discovers the only possible path to himself.
