The Land of Sad Oranges draws in its different stories the many aspects of the Palestinian tragedy, as if it wants the story to be a mirror of reality and memory, and for the language to be a group of multiple bows in front of the human pain that is embodied in this mirror. The Land of Sad Oranges is Kanafani's second attempt to establish his creative vision of the Palestinian horizon that he seeks to paint with his words. And the horizon comes mixed with memory, as if the Palestinian cannot free himself from his memory in moments of stupor in front of the tragedy, or as if this memory will be the gateway through which he will cross to where he discovers the only possible way to himself.
