Return to Haifa

Return to Haifa is a novella written by Palestinian author and journalist, Ghassan Kanafani, which mainly depicts the Palestinian-Israeli conflict during the 1948 war in Haifa when Britain was in control of the land. The novella is an experience of Kanafani but also illustrates what Palestinians go through. As argued by critics, Kanafani successfully weds literary technique to political practice, as his fictional characters tend to reflect the Palestinian condition.
