Palestinian Youth Movement releases Kanafani anthology

The Palestinian Youth Movement organized an evening to celebrate the life and work of Palestinian writer and artist Ghassan Kanafani and the release of an anthology on April 8 at Studio Grand in Oakland CA. The Palestinian Youth Movement compiled the anthology of writing and commentary on Kanafani, who led a politically engaged life and whom Israel assassinated in a 1972 car bomb attack in Beirut. The 36-year-old Palestinian left several unfinished novels, as well as his most famous work, Men in the Sun, an allegory of the Palestinian experience in the Nakba.
