“Men in the Sun, set during the late 1950s, tells the story of three Palestinians, each from different generations, who attempt to immigrate illegally into Kuwait from southern Iraq. The narrative begins after the three arrive independently in Basra and begin looking for a smuggler to take them across the border. The first three chapters introduce the Palestinian characters from oldest to youngest, and detail how they all fail to come to terms with the same smuggler. Through a series of flashbacks and stream-of-consciousness narratives, the text shows that even though all three imagine Kuwait to be a paradise of riches, they each fl ee the refugee camps of Palestine for different reasons.”
