From being forced to exile at the age of twelve, to getting assassinated by the Israeli Mossad at the age of thirty-six, Ghassan Fayiz Kanafani’s life has stood as a testimony to the horrors created by Israeli occupation. As a teenager, Kanafani became more politically aware and joined the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) as its spokesperson and the editor of its weekly magazine, Al-Hadaf. Palestinian journalist Rassem Al-Madhoun was awestruck to witness the transformation of Kanafani from having a fragile grasp of Arabic to one of the most influential writers of the Arab World. Madhoun says, “He extracted the language’s most beautiful expressions and became one of its most captivating writers.” Men in the Sun by Kanafani skillfully depicts the predicament of three Palestinian men who emigrate to Kuwait in search of better living conditions, but die tragically. The author deftly weaves the aspirations of the three men into a poignant narrative that explores the cost the displaced people have to pay in realizing their dreams. Their journey to Kuwait depicts a dream of escape from their constrained status of being a refugee to creating a new life. This article aims at shedding light on the instances in Men In The Sun that depict the “Devastation of Dreams,” a recurring theme in the novel.
