"Return to Haifa"

Howdy all,

I hope you're enjoying your snow days. If you get around to a little bit of reading/thinking about school. I hope you take a look at some of these links in preparation for the play tomorrow (it still looks like we're going, as of this minute that is...).

The author of the play: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghassan_Kanafani

Start reading "The Case for Israel," Introduction and Chapters 1-3

Kanafani's largest political and literary influence: http://www.iep.utm.edu/sartre-p/
