Reviews
This significant book monitoring and documenting a critical stage in the history of modern Palestinian literature preserves Palestinian short stories which would have remained kept in old newspaper archives and unexplored corners of ignored libraries. Furthermore, it offers scholars and readers a comprehensive critique of these stories illustrating the circumstances under which these short stories were written and discussing the various literary trends and streams that influenced their artistic structure and contents. -Mahmoud Ghanayem, Professor of Modern Arabic Literature, Tel Aviv University; Chairman, Arabic Language Academy, Israel
