Status Updates From Ghassan Kanafani

"Ghassan’s literary work went side by side with his journalistic and political activities. Long before his death he was considered among the best of Arab and Palestinian writers. Usually he built up the whole story, novel, or play in his mind; then he would write it all down in a short time, making very few corrections afterwards. All his manuscripts were written by hand— he never made a copy."

I never had any doubt that Ghassan had chosen the correct road. Had I tried to stop him from his revolutionary struggle and commitment, he might still be my husband, but not the fi ne and honest person whom I loved and admired.
